Police are searching for the suspect in a deadly shooting that killed two people and wounded at least seven near a pub in Tel Aviv Friday.

A police spokesperson told CNN "it is not possible to determine if this is a criminal or terror attack." Two witnesses told Israeli media that the suspect was dressed in black and wearing a black mask, and appeared to be carrying a military-style assault weapon, CNN reports, but police have not released any information on what the suspect was wearing.
