the administrative building, armed with a Kalashnikov automatic
rifle.
Earlier reports from the Tehran police chief said there were two
children in the car with the gunman, the security camera footage
released later proved the man was alone. He entered the building
after briefly waving hand to the Iranian security guard
outside.
No attempts were made to detain the gunman, as he freely entered
the embassy. The man managed to kill the head of the security
service and wound two embassy guards. The shooter was eventually
detained. The incident is currently being investigated.
