The citizens Islim Hyska and Jusuf Bashkurti were killed on the spot, while 20 passers-by and residents of the area were seriously injured. According to an official statement by the police, these citizens fell victim to gunfire from police forces against a group of armed persons, while the police were pursuing a wanted person.
