Joint Statement from the Federal Police Agency and Krauanaet Protective Service
Subject: Attempted Apprehension of Suspected Shooter
For Immediate Release
6 January 2024
The Federal Police Agency (FPA) and the Krauanaet Protective Service (KPS) provide this joint statement regarding the attempted apprehension of the suspected shooter involved in the recent assassination attempt on Krauanaet Zharan.
Earlier this afternoon, FPA agents, in collaboration with the KPS, located the suspected shooter at a residence on the outskirts of Yayyára. Law enforcement officials surrounded the house and issued orders for the individual to surrender peacefully. Regrettably, the suspect refused to comply with the instructions.
In an attempt to gain access to the premises and bring the individual into custody, law enforcement agents approached the building. Unexpectedly, the residence was engulfed in an explosion, resulting in the destruction of a significant portion of the house.
We deeply regret to inform the public that during this operation, three KPS agents lost their lives, and two sustained injuries. The injured agents are currently receiving medical attention, and our thoughts are with their families during this difficult time.
The nature of the explosion indicates the presence of an explosive device within the residence. However, we stress that the investigation is ongoing, and we are committed to uncovering the full details surrounding this incident.
At this point, we cannot provide additional information due to the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we work diligently to gather all relevant facts and ensure a thorough examination of the circumstances.
Both the FPA and KPS are dedicated to maintaining the safety and security of the Krauanagaz Federation and its citizens. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the investigation as new information becomes available.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the fallen agents, and we extend our gratitude to all law enforcement personnel involved in this challenging operation.
