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.
