A choir had sung Christmas carols in front of the cathedral. Several hundred people attended the concert. A journalist in attendance said the man opened fire when the crowd began to break up after the concert ended. He stood on the church stairs and shot. “I just ran for my life,” said the journalist.
Another witness said the man fired eight to ten shots before he was shot himself. The background to the incident was initially unclear. The police found two firearms at the scene. Nearby she also discovered a bag with a full gasoline can, rope, wire and several knives.
