At least one person was killed and two were injured in a shooting Monday in the southern town of Segev Shalom, police said, in what Hebrew media described as a suspected murder.

Although none of the shooting victims was identified, Hebrew media reports said the man killed in the incident was a resident of Segev Shalom.

Following the shooting, police said they arrested two suspects, one of whom was brought to the hospital after being wounded earlier in the shooting.

Police also said that they had located a scene of interest in connection with the shooting in the scattered network of Bedouin homesteads in the Negev desert.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, police said.
