It was a rabbinical school, as being reported by CNN right now.
JERUSALEM - Two terrorists infiltrated a rabbinical seminary at the entrance of Jerusalem and opened fire after nightfall Thursday, police said. One person was wounded. Ambulances raced to the scene from around the city.
The seminar is the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in the Kiryat Moshe quarter of Jerusalem.
Israel TV quoted reports from rescue services saying that two infiltrators and two other people were killed.
“When someone comes to kill you, arise quickly and kill him first.”
I’d lay odds that the reason that the killer/victim ratio is 1 is because someone in the school was armed and killed the attackers almost immediately.
Sorry to hear of this. At least it appears they got the perps.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Rescue services director says at least seven killed in shooting attack at Jerusalem seminary.
More than one someone, I’d reckon. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for schools like that in this country! Get well soon to all the innocent wounded. Burn in Hell forever to the others.

Seven people slain by two terrorists at Jewish seminary at entrance of Jerusalem, police tell AP. Terrorists also dead.
Will be interesting to see if Bush/Rice/Olmert gave the terrorists the guns used in this attack. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did.
And the UN Humans Rights Council just got through condemning Israel for its offensive in Gaza!

Not to worry, they’ll be condemning Israel for killing the terrorists at the school soon enough.

This school might be right near the Western Wall
