{{Three Americans have been shot dead by a policeman at a hospital in the Afghan capital, Kabul, US officials say.}}
A spokesman for Afghanistan’s interior ministry described those killed as “medical staff”.
The hospital, which specialises in children’s and maternal health, is run by Cure, a small US Christian charity. Two others were reported wounded.
The attacker, who reportedly shot himself, is in police custody. His motive remains unclear, officials say.
Afghanistan suffered a spate of deadly attacks in the run-up to presidential elections on 5 April.
The US embassy in Kabul tweeted that it was “with great sadness we confirm that three Americans were killed in the attack on Cure Hospital”. No other information would be released for the moment, it added.
