Paramedics said at least five people were killed in a shooting attack in north Jerusalem on Monday when two attackers opened fire at a bus stop at a busy intersection.

Paramedics said an additional 15 people were injured, including six in serious condition.

Police said the attackers shot people waiting at a bus stop, while Israeli media reported the attackers also boarded a bus and opened fire inside.

Police said the attackers were shot soon after the attack began, but did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the status of the attackers or their identity.

The shooting took place at a major intersection at the northern entrance to Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements located in east Jerusalem.
