At least two police officers and one civilian were injured, and the operation is ongoing; however one suspect is confirmed neutralized. One policeman was later confirmed to have died.
Videos from the scene show two bodies on the floor. The gunmen, seemingly Caucasian, can be seen facedown wearing camouflage, and a rifle (seemingly an SKS) is also visible on the floor nearby.

Moishe Blech, a ZAKA volunteer who is near the scene, said there is a report of hostages being held inside the scene, but this is not yet confirmed.
