8 killed in Jewish seminary gun attack

A GUNMAN infiltrated a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and opened fire in a library last night, killing at least seven people, officials said.

Police commander Aharon Franco told reporters at the scene that “an Israeli army officer nearby” then shot the gunman dead.

Rescue workers said at least 10 people were wounded. Government spokesman Daniel Seaman and police said there was only one gunman though initial reports said there were two.
