According to Haberturk TV, there was an ongoing "hostage situation" while the private NTV television spoke of gunshots after the blast. Video footage circulating in social media also showed two terrorists opening fire.

Images shown by Haberturk suggested one attacker was a woman, while Sabah newspaper published a CCTV image from cameras at the building's entrance of a black-clad young man with a moustache carrying a rucksack and what appeared to be an assault rifle.
