Israeli Police Kill American Gunman in Hotel Shoot-Out - World News
Israeli forces killed an American man Friday who had earlier shot dead one person when he opened fire in a seaside hotel packed with tourists, police said.
Police surrounded the hotel in the Red Sea resort city of Eilat after the man “grabbed a weapon from a security guard and shot a hotel worker,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. The hotel employee later died.
The gunman barricaded himself in the hotel kitchen, shooting back at law enforcement officers. He was shot dead by members of a military counter-terrorism squad, a military source told Reuters.
