Israeli police say a Palestinian gunman killed at least seven people and injured several more at a synagogue in Jerusalem's Neve Yaakov neighborhood, in one of the deadliest attacks on Israelis in years.

Israeli media report Jewish worshipers had finished Friday night Sabbath prayers and were outside the synagogue when the gunman, identified by police as a 21-year-old man from East Jerusalem, opened fire. Police say the gunman drove away and police stopped him, and he opened fire on police officers, who shot and killed him.
