Heavily armed gunmen could be seen in a viral video yelling instructions and firing at a parked SUV with their assault rifles and pistols.
The police has subsequently arrested 16 suspects in connection with the shooting rage.

The police say efforts are underway to arrest the remaining suspects and retrieve any other weapons in their possession.
The police administration said it has seen a viral video on the incident, which is being reviewed as part of the investigation.
