An Israeli hospital spokewoman said an Eritrean migrant, who was mistaken as an attacker during a bus-station shooting, died of his wounds late Sunday. Officials said an Israeli soldier was also killed during the shooting at the central bus station in Beersheba that left at least six people wounded. Some reports say as many as seven are receiving treatment. Israeli police said officers shot the Eritrean man after mistaking him as an assailant. Security footage of the incident appeared to show an Israeli security guard shooting the man while he was on the ground.
