At least four people were killed and 36 were wounded - two seriously, four moderately and 30 lightly - on Wednesday afternoon when a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in downtown Jerusalem.
Police said that the driver plowed his vehicle into two public buses, toppling them over, and slammed into several cars.
The driver was shot dead by an elite policeman, police said, adding that the incident was a terror attack. Police emphasized that the terrorist was carrying an Israeli identity card and was a resident of east Jerusalem.
Witnesses said the driver was killed after a brief struggle with two policemen.
One of the elite policeman was lightly wounded, apprently by gunfire, indicating that the terrorist was armed.
The attack, on the junction of Jaffa and Sha'arie Yisreal streets, set off a panic in the area. Dozens of people ran through the streets to flee the scene of the attack and a car was still stuck under the bulldozer. Police said it was unclear how many people were in the trapped vehicle.
The bulldozer was apprently being used for construction work on the Jerusalem light rail project.
MicroBalrog Notes:
1. Ban guns. They'll use tractors. And illegal guns.
2. Guns are even useful against guys with tractors.

nowhere does it say that the policeman was wounded by gunfire.
But you're a blogger so you can invent whatever you want.
It said so on the article I copied and pasted it from.
As you know, web articles get edited as new facts arrive. At the time I viewed it, this was what it said. I do not understand your anger.
