Death toll rises in Nazareth shooting, police looking for motive
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA fourth person has died in Nazareth, including the man suspected of shooting several members of his extended family before turning the gun on himself, police say.
Aside from the suspected shooter, the dead include his brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law’s brother and uncle, who had been gathered at the suspect’s sister’s house.
Police say they do not know why the suspect, identified as a resident of Iksal in his 30s, opened fire.
The suspect’s sister and mother are both injured in the shooting and listed in serious condition, police say.
The Abraham Initiatives watchdog says 49 members of the Arab community have been killed since the start of the year, outpacing 2023’s record-setting bloodletting.
