We continue to work together with the family and the authorities to expedite the necessary procedures.

Michael, a former Israeli who lived in the neighborhood, was a member of the local Chabad community and was loved by everyone.
During the shooting attack, which targeted police officers, Michael was shot by a policewoman, after being mistakenly suspected of being one of the shooters.
