The Estonian prime minister has suggested that the attack on the
Defense Ministry could be inspired by a recent terrorist attack in
Norway, Rt.com reported.
Andrus Ansip said that the Armenian born gunman, Karen Drambian,
had been under police spotlight before.
"He was probably inspired by the massive killings in Norway. He
probably had more far reaching plans. He did not make political demand
and the motive behind his actions are obvious," Ansip said.
An eight-member special police taskforce entered the building at 4:42
pm. There were four shots fired inside the building, then a blast
was heard followed by three more shots.
A second special police task force accompanied by three doctors entered
the ministry building at 4:52 pm. Two rescue teams and a vehicle with
bomb disposal experts are also at the scene.
The siege ended at 5.20 pm local time when a police spokesperson
announced that "the attacker had been neutralized" and "no one else
had been hurt."
