Public security minister ‘not certain’ shooting was terrorism

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan says that it is still not absolutely clear what motivated the gunman.

“There is no definitive indication that this was a nationalist act,” says Erdan.

He says that “criminal” and “personal” motives are still being examined.

“I am not sure that this is part of the ongoing wave of terror,” he tells Channel 2.
