A number of people are recovering after being injured during a shooting on a bus in Jerusalem.

-The U.S. State Department is calling it a "terrorist attack."

At least eight people, including five Americans, were injured after a Palestinian man opened fire on a bus in Jerusalem. 

The Palestinian man is a resident of East Jerusalem.  He targeted a bus carrying Jewish worshipers who had just prayed at the Western Wall early Sunday morning. The suspect initially fled the scene after firing but later turned himself in. 

At least two of the Americans were tourists.   One of the victims was a pregnant woman from New York and she underwent an emergency cesarean section.

One of the injured Americans was a 22-year-old from Brooklyn that told the media, he was with a group that was part of a birthright trip to the Middle East.
