When the suspect stopped shooting at the police officers due to his severe injury, the police officers began to provide him with medical assistance, but he was killed.
Cervera did not mention the personality of the attacker and the reasons for his actions, only confirming that he was working in this particular building.
Police said that the attacker was identified as Dewin Creddock, 40, and that the reasons for his resorting to open fire were due to his desire for revenge, without providing any other details.
