"A terrorist armed with a Carlo-type weapon (a submachine gun) carried out a shooting in the Old City," police said in a statement, adding that the attacker had been "neutralized," confirming they had been killed.
Among the injured were two civilians and two police officers. They were rushed to a hospital where one of them died, medical sources said without giving further details.
Police said the violence took place near an entrance to the Jewish Temple Mount and the Muslim Noble Sanctuary, a shrine that is sacred to both Jews and Muslims.
Violence surrounding the site has triggered periodic rounds of fighting between Israel and the Palestinians.
