A gunman opened fire at beachgoers at a hotel in Tunisia today, killing at least 28 people and wounding at least 36.
The attack took place at the Hotel Imperial Marhaba in Sousse, a popular resort town on the northeast coast of Africa.
The gunman, who acted alone, was killed by police after the attack, the country’s Interior Ministry told the Associated Press.
Chelli said the gunman hid his Kalashnikov rifle under an umbrella before he opened fire. The gunman then entered the Hotel Imperial through the pool and shot at people, Chelli told Mosaique FM.
Sousse is one of Tunisia’s most popular vacation spots and draws visitors from across Europe, particularly France.
The nationalities of the victims are still being determined, officials said, but a security official confirmed to Mosaique FM that many victims were foreigners.
