CNN —Friends and relatives gathered Monday to mourn the death of Yuval Castleman, the Israeli civilian who responded to a deadly terror attack in Jerusalem, shooting and killing the perpetrators before he himself was shot dead by an Israeli reservist soldier.
Castleman, a former police officer, was driving to work Thursday when he saw two gunmen open fire at a bus stop in Jerusalem.
A third person, an army reservist according to Israel’s military, appears to have mistaken Castleman for an attacker and began shooting at him.
Bullets from one of the Israeli soldiers may have also struck Castleman, the IDF said.
He was shouting ‘I’m an Israeli.’ He threw his wallet, his identification, on the way so they could see he’s an Israeli.
