More on the story g(r)omgoru posted yesterday.
[Ynet] A police officer and a 60-year-old woman were killed and five injured Sunday morning after a terrorist committed a shooting near a cop shoppe next to the Ammunition Hill light rail station in Jerusalem.

According to a police report released shortly after the incident, the terrorist, who had previously served five prison sentences for a variety of offense including aggravated battery, illicit military training and setting fire to vehicles, opened fire from within his vehicle on people standing by the station situated opposite police headquarters.

The terrorist--later identified as a 39 year old from the East Jerusalem neigborhood of Silwan and a full Israeli citizen--then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, continuing his rampage as he shot two people sitting in their car.

He then proceeded in the direction of Tomb of Simeon the Just in Sheikh Jarrah where he stopped his vehicle and began shooting at riot police pursuing him on cycle of violences. One of the officers, who was later identified as 1st Sgt. Yosef Kirma, was critically injured during the shootout and died from his wounds shortly thereafter. Another policeman was also lightly maimed in the fire exchange.

Israel Border Police spotted the terrorist before shooting him dead.

Security forces began conducting searches for additional suspects, setting up a number of roadblocks in the area.

Paramedics arrived on the scene where they treated multiple victims, one of whom was left at death's door and one at death's door. Another 3 were moderately maimed while two women sustained light injuries. An additional 3 victims were taken to hospital and treated for shock.

IDF troops clash with protesters at house of Jerusalem terrorist

[IsraelTimes] IDF solders are clashing with Palestinian protesters in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan at the home of the gunman who was killed carrying out a terrorist attack in Jerusalem this morning.

Palestinian media is also reporting clashes in the Salah A-Din neighborhood of Jerusalem and the Shuafat refugee camp just outside of the capital.
Another Times of Israel article adds:
Hamas claimed he was a member of the organization after his deadly attack. He was also apparently connected to the Murabitun group, an Islamic Movement organization that hassles non-Muslim visitors to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority said the attacker’s brother was known to the Israeli security establishment, and was arrested in the Old City on Sunday.
Yet another Times of Israel article adds:
The killer, who reportedly used an Israeli army-issue M-16 machine-gun, had “lots and lots of ammunition,” says Halevy, and was headed to the center of town, where “he would have killed lots of people.”
Ma'an names the dead miscreant:
The slain gunman responsible for a shooting attack in occupied East Jerusalem Sunday morning that left two Israelis killed and several injured told Ma'an the day before the shooting that he was planning on turning himself in to Israeli authorities to serve a prison sentence for prior charges.

Misbah Abu Sbeih, 39, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, who also lived in the village of al-Ram, told Ma'an via telephone Saturday that he had decided to turn himself into the Israeli Ramla prison at 10 a.m. on Sunday to serve a four-month prison sentence for allegedly assaulting an Israeli police officer.
