They were reported to have stormed the area and moved into the station for possibly another shooting spree, but unfortunately met no police men on sight. The men who came with sienna vehicle fired several Gun shots though no casualty was recorded.
Possibly angered by the development, the gunmen were said to have shot in the air to scare residents away before zooming off in their vehicle.
A woman while running for safety got injured but was told by the gun totting hoodlums to desist from panicking since they were not after her.
