A 23-year-old man was shot in Tel Aviv on Saturday, Israeli media reported. The man was declared dead at the scene by MDA paramedics.
Israeli media reported the incident occurred as two couples were spending time together in southern Tel Aviv. One of the individuals, who possessed a reportedly licensed firearm, at some point, drew his weapon and shot an individual in the other couple. The two women who were there were also taken for questioning by police.
Media reports noted that the police, after arriving at the scene, suspected the gunman was a reservist IDF soldier who had returned from Gaza and was suffering from a PTSD episode after having returned from service.
The incident occurred in an apartment Menachem Begin Street in the city. The victim was initially injured and later died from his wounds after paramedics performed CPR on him.
Arriving at the scene
"When we arrived at the scene, we joined with police forces immediately," said MDA paramedic Yuval Shiovitz. "They led us to the man who was lying unconscious and suffering from a penetrating injury to his body. We immediately started performing resuscitation operations, and in the end, we had to pronounce him dead."
The 25-year-old, who is a resident of Haifa, was arrested, Walla reported. The suspect reportedly had worked as a security guard. All those present at the scene have no criminal record.
