The RAB officials recovered arms and ammunition including a China-made pistol, a foreign-made revolver, a Light Gun (LG) and 8 rounds bullet of pistol, revolver and rifle from the detainees after the gunfight. | Armed to the teeth, they was. Not that it did them any good. |

At a stage, the armed snatchers attempted to fire aiming the RAB officials. | "Get them, boys! It's our only way out!" |
