The attackers fled upon realizing the door could not be breached. In a subsequent event, a gunman fired a shot through a neighboring rental home where women were screaming. Two women sustained injuries, with one daughter suffering a leg injury below the knee and her mother having injuries to both ankles, believed to be caused by fragments from the bullet. Police discovered a spent 7.62x39mm cartridge at the scene, which they preserved as evidence. The suspects' motive was suspected to be the theft of proceeds from the mine owner's gold operations.
