″The woman next to me said, “Someone is shooting.” So I looked and there was a culprit right in front of the clothing store. It was holding her by the throat and bleeding her.″
After receiving another report, the police immediately subdued the culprit, but six people were already dead.
Two were taken to hospital but died, and three of the other seven injured transported are in critical condition.

″The shooter was dressed in black and was wearing a vest. He had an assault rifle and was shooting at people across the street.”
The identity of the perpetrator is still unknown.
Witnesses testified that a child was among the victims, and a five-year-old child was reportedly among the injured taken to the hospital.
Innocent people are quickly killed, but the authorities’ response is embarrassingly calm.
No additional information was provided after the briefing at 9:30 pm, when reporters were not asked, and the motive for the crime and the identity of the perpetrator are expected to be known only after dawn.
