According to an article on Huffington Post, a gunman entered a Tel Aviv club for gay teens and opened fire, killing 3 and injuring at least 11 others. From The Huffington Post:
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said it was "most likely a criminal attack and not a terror attack." Tel Aviv has been a target for Palestinian militants in the past.
He said the gunman burst into the basement of the Tel Aviv Gay and Lesbian Association and opened fire on a support group for gay teenagers.
Police are searching the area for the gunman, who fled the scene, he said. Roadblocks were set up.
At this point no one seems to know what exactly motivated the attack. But the impression seems to be that it was hate:
"This was a hate crime, a premeditated attack," witness Yaniv Weisman told Channel 10 TV. He said Cafe Noir, the basement club, was popular with youth.
"Those hurt were very young," he said.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
