| [IsraelTimes] Border Police officer lightly hurt; forces chase car, shoot dead occupants, but also kill 3-year-old in second vehicle. Accuracy is much harder during real life than in video games or television shows. Police said a Paleostinian child was mistakenly killed by security forces Sunday and a Border Police officer was lightly injured during a car-ramming attack at a checkpoint in East Jerusalem.Video footage showed officers checking a van at the checkpoint and allowing it through before a second car accelerated into the Border Police officer, in her 20s. According to police, the officer was lightly maimed. Footage then showed officers chasing after the second vehicle, opening fire and killing its occupants. The three-year-old Paleostinian girl who was mistakenly killed by the gunfire was in the first car that had passed, police said, and added the incident was under further investigation. The video appeared to show the first vehicle was in security forces’ line of fire as they shot at the attackers. According to medics, the girl was critically injured by the gunfire and was declared dead at the scene a short while later. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it took the injured officer to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center in good condition.
