According to the witness, a man came to the station as early as 06:00, claiming to be pursued by undisclosed persons. When he realised he was not given attention by the officers manning the desk, the man is said to have walked behind the service counter and disarmed an unaware on-duty officer engaged in some paperwork.
Now armed, the man is said to have opened fire, shooting two police officers before fleeing the scene. He was eventually gunned down by pursuing officers a couple of blocks down the road.
