The shooting occurred at the bustling train station, with initial reports of gunfire later confirmed by the police. The perpetrator attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended by federal police officers just a few meters away from the crime scene. At this time, the motives behind the shooting remain unclear, and authorities have not yet released detailed information about the identities of the two men involved.

Although train services have resumed, the ongoing police investigation continues to cause disruptions and track changes. A reporter on the scene has confirmed that a suspect has been taken into custody. The situation is still under investigation as authorities work to uncover the circumstances leading to the tragic event.
