The killer was identified by his father:
Sami Melhem, a relative of the alleged shooter and a lawyer who has represented him in the past for assaulting an Israeli soldier, said the suspect's father — who is a police volunteer — recognized his son in the footage and came forward to identify him.
A gun had been stolen from the suspect's father's safe, Sami Melhem said.
