Media reports say the suspects were inside a car when they tried to crash through the main entrance of the General Directorate of Investigation’s Centre in Riyadh. However, they were intercepted by security personnel and their vehicle was prevented from gaining access to the compound.
The sides then exchanged fire, which resulted in the death of the attackers.
