Israeli police say an attack at a bus station in southern Israel was carried out by one attacker, not two.
Police commander Yoram Halevy says officers at the bus station mistakenly opened fire on a foreigner during the attack Sunday, apparently thinking he was an assailant. The man was wounded.
Halevy told reporters that the incident is being investigated. Israeli media say the foreigner is an Eritrean national.
Halevy says the attacker entered the bus station with a gun and a knife and then snatched another gun from one of his victims. He was later killed.
Police had said earlier that two attackers opened fired on the bus station. One Israeli was killed and several others were hurt.
