‘Police never followed up on Milhem sighting after attack’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe police failed to follow up on a sighting of gunman Nashat Milhem in the aftermath of his Tel Aviv shooting spree, Israel Radio says.
According to the report, two young Tel Aviv women saw Milhem on a bus in the north of the city immediately after the attacks. The gunman had blood on his shirt, and the two recognized him from security footage being broadcast.
The women told their boss, who called the police hotline repeatedly, but the police never followed up on the calls.
The police only looked into the matter, Israel Radio says, after it asked them to do so, and now acknowledge this chain of events.
