According to the police, the suspects opened fire on the team. In exchange, both men sustained serious injuries during the encounter. They were disarmed and rushed to the hospital, where they succumbed to injuries.
From the site of the encounter, the police recovered a Glock pistol, a Zigana pistol, and multiple live cartridges.
