Hero who took out Jerusalem terrorist


An Officer and a Hero -Rebecca Anna Stoil

On Thursday evening, Capt. David Shapira [pictured above] had just put one of his two young children to sleep when he heard explosions coming from the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva across the street. When he realized that the explosions were gunshots, he grabbed his service weapon and ran out of the house toward the yeshiva where he himself had studied.

Shapira entered the building, tracked the terrorist to the library, got within two to three meters of his target, and neutralized him. Then he searched the area to make sure that other terrorists had not taken cover in the building.
