Numerous sites headlined it this way:
Israeli police shoot man in east Jerusalem

Israeli police shoot man in east Jerusalem | News , Middle East | THE DAILY STAR
Israeli police shoot man in east Jerusalem | MidEast | Daily Sabah

Even the AP initially headlined this way.
CAMERA Snapshots: After Suspected Terror Attack Against Israelis, Early AP Headline Reported: "Israeli Police Shoot Man in East Jerusalem."

He took the Abbas speech a step further to include people outside the walls of Jerusalem.

But what will the US say and do since some of those ran over were Americans including the child that died?

well at least they put him down like the animal that he is/was. I hope he enjoys his 72 pigs in hell

A bad driver Sorry, couldn't resist.

Reminds me of that 86 year old man back in 2003 in San Diego, that plowed everyone down at a Farmers Market, killing 9, including a 3 year old girl. He also injured 14, plus two of those were critical and under the age of two.

Difference here is that the driver (21 years old) drove 42 feet way from the road onto the platform tracks and mowed people down after the train had stopped and people were getting off the train. He didn't hit the train, he drove parallel to it.

Actually, some folks stated he was doing exactly that - aiming at them. Folks even stated he had no public remorse. He was given 5 years probation for his "not aiming" incident.

Besides the guy plowing his SUV through a donut shop killing 4 recently, there is also the Venice Beach incident in 2013, where that guy injured over a dozen and was aiming at them.

So,....Jerusalem isn't the only place where pedestrians have to beware.

What pisses me off is when a terrorist attacks in Ottawa, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says, “We will continue to work closely with our Canadian colleagues to ensure the safety of all our people, and together to counter violent extremism in North America and elsewhere around the world.”, but,

when a terrorist attacks in Jerusalem, Kerry does not even bother to put his name on the press release. He dictates to Spokeswoman Jen Psaki to say, “We urge all sides to maintain calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this incident.” What does that mean anyway?? How American Jews can support this administration is beyond me as Obama is clearly against supporting Israel.
