Glued to the TV set trying to make some sense of the terror attack in Yeshiva Merkaz Harav. According to police, it was a single attacker who unloaded hundreds of bullets in a ten-minute rampage through the biggest yeshiva high school in Jerusalem. Seven people dead, perhaps a dozen injured, some seriously. Because the attacker was moving around, people thought there were several terrorists. Paramedics treated the wounded while shooting continued. It only ended when an army officer, who lives next door to the school, heard the shooting, went in with his own gun, and took the guy out.
The police say they know the identity of the killer, but it is too early to tell what organization, if any, is behind the attack–or what may come of this tomorrow.
