There were 2 shootings. At one, outside a Jerusalem synagogue, no one was armed until police arrived. Seven Israelis were murdered by a Palestinian.

At the other shooting, a soldier on leave was carrying a weapon, when a Palestinian opened fire.

He immediately fired at the boy, likely preventing a wider attack. There were no Jewish fatalities in the incident and the Palestinian assailant is still in an Israeli hospital.

In the aftermath of these two shootings, the police admit that they can't be everywhere, and are going to relax rules on who can carry weapons.
