DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Right now, we want to tell you about breaking news coming out of Jerusalem. And if you were with us at the top of the hour, you were hearing a Mike Hanna report about the latest attack taking place in Jewish West Jerusalem.

At least ten people were wounded in this. This before the gunman was killed by police. Israeli troops -- this might be in retaliation from when Israeli troops killed four Hamas members in a raid on the West Bank city of Nablus. And the militant group has avenged their deaths.

The video you are seeing right now is a breaking news video that we're just getting in from the situation in Jerusalem. The attack occurred near Jerusalem's pedestrian mall that is a frequent target of Palestinian militant attacks.

We will get our Mike Hanna up from Jerusalem in a bit with more on that.
