Two men found dead near Tel Aviv senior living center in suspected murder-suicide
A resident who lives nearby told Walla that the sound of the gunfire initially made her fear a terror attack.
On Monday morning, the bodies of two men, gunshot victims, were discovered near a senior citizens center and a bank branch on Moshe Dayan Road in Tel Aviv. The initial investigation suggests the incident may have been a murder-suicide, with the two identified as brothers, aged in their 50s and 70s. Magen David Adom (MDA) teams arrived at the scene upon receiving a 9:32 a.m. call about two people injured, who were subsequently found unconscious, without a pulse, and not breathing. A handgun was located at the scene.
Upon initial inspection, one resident feared a terror attack. "I heard gunshots under the building. At first I locked the windows; I thought maybe it was a terror attack, maybe there's a terrorist downstairs, and suddenly it was quiet and full of ambulances. I ran downstairs to understand what happened, and suddenly I saw two men lying dead on the sidewalk," the resident recounted. Emergency medical technicians confirmed the gravity of the situation, noting the penetrating wounds on the men's bodies.
Police were dispatched to the scene and an investigation was launched to determine the circumstances of the incident. As of the latest update, the investigation remains ongoing.
