TUNIS: A Tunisian official says two men on a moped opened fire with a rifle on three policemen in the resort town Sousse, killing one and wounding the other two.

Sahbi Jouini, a member of the policemen’s union, said the victims were waiting for transportation to the neighboring town Kairouan from the low-income neighborhood of Hay Zohour when they were attacked Wednesday. The attackers sped away and a search is now underway, Jouini added.

On June 26, a gunman killed 38 tourists on a beach in Sousse in an attack later claimed by Daesh.
