The culprit, Mordechai Brafman, is being charged with two counts of attempted murder for opening fire at the duo who ended up being Israeli Jews on vacation in the United States.
Upon being arrested, the suspect reportedly told police, “I saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both.”
The victims, Ari Rabi and his father, were in their car on Saturday when Brafman parked in front of them, exited his vehicle and started shooting.
Brafman fired 17 shots at the men as they sped away, fleeing for their lives.
Ari was hit in the shoulder and his dad was grazed in the ear, but they both made it out alive.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom. I got hit in the shoulder. One of the bullets missed my father’s head,” Rabi said with his cousin serving as an interpreter while speaking to a local news station.
He added, “Some guy thought we were Palestinians and he just started shooting. Seventeen bullets, only one hit… The last thing I want to say is thank God for life. A life shouldn’t just be taken away from anyone. It doesn’t matter who you are, what religion you are, or where you’re from. People should just live in peace.”
Surveillance footage shows the father and son knocking on the door of a nearby house for help following the attack.
In a shocking twist, one of the victims allegedly wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, “Death to Arabs,” despite the fact he was shot by a fellow Jew.
The incident shows the Israel-Palestine conflict is creating tension across the world, even right here in America.
