Two people opened fire at beachgoers at a hotel in Tunisia today, killing at least 27 people, officials said.
The attack took place at the Hotel Imperial Marhaba in Sousse, a popular resort town on the northeast coast of Africa.
Two attackers were involved, officials said. Security forces killed one of the attackers, while the second attacker fled and remains at-large, the country's Interior Ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Aroui told ABC News.
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.
Tunisia has been on high-alert since March, when Islamist militant gunmen attacked a museum, killing 22 foreign tourists.
