[New York Times] Steven Erlanger and Isabel Kershner - An Arab gunman entered the prominent Mercaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem on Thursday night, killing at least eight students and wounding at least nine others, three of them seriously, the Israeli police said. The gunman killed two people at the entrance and then entered the library, spraying the students with gunfire from a Kalashnikov rifle. Avi Katz, 23, a medical volunteer, said, "We came to the library and saw two bodies at the entrance on the floor, and it was very bad. There were bodies and Jewish books all over the floor....They were shot one by one."
