He entered the hotel, shooting at every individual. He was later killed by security forces after an exchange of fire. There is suspected to be another armed gunman who partook in the attack.

Interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said, on Monday 06/29/2015, authorities were “sure” that Seifeddine Rezgui had had accomplices.Tunisian investigators believe the suspected accomplices provided the Kalashnikov assault rifle to Rezgui and helped him get to the scene, Mr Ali Aroui told AP.

Two attacked the Bardo and one attacked Sousse,” Lazhar Akremi, minister for parliamentary relations, said, Reuters news agency reports. From those 12 suspects, eight men and a woman remained in custody .
