While they have not refuted reports about there being more than one attacker, the police have only referred to a sole gunman in their tweets.
The police said they are searching for the shooter and urged civilians in the area to avoid the site. They said they have set up a telephone line for information on the attack.
“Investigation into shooting incident is underway,” the police wrote on Twitter. “We also take into account a possible terrorist motive.”
