In the incident that took place in the village of Coburlar in the Çaycuma district, a former police officer identified as O.Ö. entered a coffeehouse with a shotgun and opened fire indiscriminately. As a result of this attack, coffeehouse owner Kasım Özcan and Aydın Özbakış lost their lives, while Gökhan G. and Hüseyin G. were injured.
