Gunman’s relative: We wanted to know his motive

Ahmed Milhem, a relative of the Tel Aviv gunman shot dead earlier today by security forces in Wadi Ara, says that the family would like to have known what led Nashat Milhem to shoot dead three people last week.

“It’s a shame he wasn’t taken alive, we wanted to know what his motives were,” he says, according to Channel 2. “He was a sick man, and he was known to the police.”

He adds that from his perspective, the case is closed after a nerve-wracking week.
