After briefly entering the hotel and leaving a cryptic note at the reception, the shooters exited the premises and discharged more rounds. Fortunately, no one sustained injuries. The police have intensified their search for the culprits, forming eight teams dedicated to probing the incident and examining the note for potential leads.
