"Till about 15 minutes ago, near my room, in the stairwell, there was lot of firing going on, automatic weapons," says a guest. "The hotel management has done a very good job… They told us to turn the lights off, shut the curtains and stay inside and do not answer the door."
“直到大约15分钟以前，在我的房间附近，在楼梯里，都枪声不断，是自动武器的枪声。饭店管理层做得很好，他们告诉我们把灯关掉，拉上窗帘，待在房间里，有人叫门不要回答。”
