Four militants, armed with automatic weapons, entered the building and began to methodically shoot everyone who came in their way.  Eyewitnesses said that they had Kalashnikov assault rifles and carbines equipped with sights, apparently collimators, and even flashlights, and small backpacks on their shoulders.
