The perpetrators in the white car was quickly surrounded by Kurdish citizens who tried to pull them out of the car but were fired upon by the perpetrators in the car. One person was killed and 4 others were wounded, one of them seriously, by the bullets.
Turkish police who arrived at the scene rescued the perpetrators. Citizens who broke into the white car found three AK-47s and a Turkish Gendarmerie Intelligence ID-card belonging to a 'Ali Kaya', who is believed to be one of the three agents in the white car. Esat Canan, MP of the opposing party CHP, acknowledged that the white car of 'Dogan'-brand with the '42'-plate belonged to the plain-clothed Turkish police units in Semdinli. Initial number of '42' on the plate indicates that the car is registered in the city of Konya in central Turkey.
The person killed in the bookstore was named as Seferi Yilmaz, who was known for his sympathies with the PKK and had sat in prison for 15 years for membership in the PKK. Seferi Yilmaz had also been one of the PKK guerrillas who carried out the first attack on Turkish military targets on August 15, 1984. He was captured the same year and sat 15 years in prison for membership in the PKK. A second person, Mehmet Zahir Korkmaz, was seriously wounded in the attack.
The second person killed when the Turkish gendarmerie agents fired upon a group trying to drag them out was named as Ali Yilmaz. Ali Yilmaz died on November 9 at 18:00 (6 p.m. EET) in the Yuksekova State Hospital. The wounded were named as Vahit Canan, Islam Kaya, Muzaffer Ertas and Abdurrahman Dozder.
Irritated Kurds who gathered outside the Semdinli State Hospital to protest the attack clashed with Turkish police arriving at the scene. 10 more Kurds were wounded in the clashes, among them the Mayor of Semdinli, Hursit Tekin.
The perpetrators were identified as two lieutenants and one sergeant from the 'JIS' (Turkish Gendarmerie Intelligence), by locals recognizing them.
