MDA Paramedic Ari Rosenshein who was in the area and ran into the incident: “I was sitting at the entrance to the garage, near the incident, and heard gunfire very close to me. I immediately ran to the terrible scene. I saw a number of casualties lying unconscious near a bus stop. I performed initial checks, and meanwhile asked my wife to run to the car to get the first aid equipment that I have. I called MDA Dispatch to update them, and within a short time, large numbers of ambulances, MICUs and MDA first responders arrived on scene to treat and evacuate the casualties to hospital. Security forces at the scene killed the terrorist.”
