Two people were hurt on Saturday in a shooting attack near Jerusalem's Old City, rescue services and the police said. The injured were a 47-years-old father and his 22-years-old son, both of whom sustained serious injuries and were evacuated to the Shaare Zedek medical center in the capital.

The perpetrator was shot and killed. The son worked as a paramedic volunteer at the Maged David Adom emergency service. The perpetrator was shot by an armed civilian who happened to pass by.

The attack happened just after 10:30 a.m. at the archaeological site known as City of David, where the city was first founded as a capital by King David and before the First Temple was built just to its north.

It is located just south of the Temple Mount, and is on the route leading to the Western Wall. The incident comes a day after a Palestinian terrorist shot seven people dead near a synagogue on the outskirts of the city.
