An Israeli and a Palestinian were lightly wounded in a shooting Sunday evening in East Jerusalem.
According to Army Radio, an East Jerusalem resident opened fire on an Israeli car, injuring the driver in the arm. A Palestinian bystander was lightly wounded by shrapnel.
At this point, it is unclear whether the shooting was a terror attack or was criminally motivated. Police sources told Army Radio, however, that the attack was in all likelihood a terror attack.
Magen David Adom emergency medical services evacuated the wounded to the capital's Hadassah University Hospital at Ein Karem.
The assailant fled to nearby neighborhood of Beit Hanina, and a large police force entered the neighborhood to search for the suspect.
