One of the gunmen then broke the glass on the drivers side of the vehicle, with his hand and began shooting the diver. the woman, who wishes to remain unnamed state that filled with fear she ran into the bathroom, covered her ears and began crying. 

After about five minutes the gunfire ceased and the police were summoned.
