The dramatic and violent episode took place just before 8:30 am, when the heavily armed attackers arrived in the W sector of the terminal and broke down a gate with the intention of stealing the load from a security van. To achieve this, they would present supposedly forged credentials.

However, the personnel of the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics, in charge of the security of the fence, became aware of the maneuver and a fierce shootout began with the criminals who got away two dead.
