Three Dead After Shooting at Tel Aviv LGBT Youth Center - by Ali Davis - 365gay.com

A gunman wearing black began shooting at a Tel Aviv gay and lesbian center called Café Noir Saturday night, killing three people and wounding at least eight more - other reports put the number of wounded as high as 15.
