"At around 7:40 am (local time) two Palestinian gunmen got out of a vehicle on Weizman Street at the main entrance to the capital and opened fire at people at a bus stop", the police said
Three persons were killed and six wounded, two of them seriously, in a terror shooting attack at the entrance to the city, police and medics said
Two off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian in the area are said to have returned fire, killing the two terrorists
Videos circulating on social media platforms show a handful of people waiting at the bus stop starting to run away in different directions as the two gunmen start firing indiscriminately
Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet, named the two attackers as brothers Murad Namr, 38, and Ibrahim Namr, 30, from East Jerusalem
Footage showed that the two were armed with an M-16 assault rifle and a handgun
A police search of the vehicle found large amounts of ammunition. Police were searching the area to rule out any additional attackers
Two of the wounded were listed in serious condition
The bus stop was the scene of a deadly bomb attack almost exactly a year ago
