Police arrest second suspect in deadly terror shooting

Police say they have arrested a second suspect in this morning’s deadly terror shooting, which left one dead and five injured in central Israel.

The second suspect is a man in his 20s from the city of Tayibe, an Arab Israeli city not far from where the attack occurred.

This morning, police claimed the attack had only one perpetrator who was shot and killed by law enforcement following a manhunt.

Police now say that officers received intelligence on a man who admitted to his involvement in the attack while searching for help in hiding from law enforcement.

Officers located the second suspect and arrested him. During his arrest, the suspect tried to stab police detectives with a glass bottle, police say. Officers managed to subdue him and take him into custody with no injuries.

The investigation into the attack is ongoing, police add.
