On October 18, 2015 a lone gunman entered the bus station in Beersheba, Israel, and shot and killed a soldier guarding the station. The gunman took the felled soldier's automatic rifle and fired into the crowd. When more security officers appeared, the gunman fled, but was felled by security personnel responding to the incident. A bystander, mistaken for a second terrorist, was shot by police and died of his injuries. At least eleven people, including a bystander who later died and four police officers, were hospitalized with wounds. After the attack, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that citizens should not take the law into their own hands. ==Attack== The gunman, armed with a knife and a pistol, used the pistol to shoot the police officer, then grabbed the officer's assault rifle and continued shooting wounding several police officers, soldiers and civilians.〔〔 He attempted to flee while engaged in the shootout with police in which he was shot and killed.〔 During the attack, security forces shot and injured Abtum Zarhum (Haftom Zarhum), a migrant who entered the country illegally from Eritrea, after mistaking him for a second gunman. Bystanders, also mistaking him for a terrorist, kicked the man and shouted abuse at the man as he lay wounded. One of the Israelis who attacked Zarhum later told the press that he had seen Zarhum lift his hands towards his head, and attacked him in the belief that he was a terrorist who had been felled but not neutralized and that he was or might have been reaching for a weapon. At least one of the wounded Israeli soldiers, Daniel Harush (19), was shot and critically injured by fellow security officers who mistook him for a terrorist. At least four of the injured were police officers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beersheva bus station shooting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
