The three gunmen who shot and killed six people in Oman this week were all Omani nationals, police said on Thursday.
The shooting took place in the Wadi al-Kabir neighborhood of Oman's capital Muscat.
The Royal Oman Police said in a statement the three gunmen were brothers and "were killed due to their insistence on resisting security personnel.”
The statement said that police investigations had indicated the three gunmen were "influenced by misguided ideas.”
The six people killed by the gunmen included a police officer responding to the attack.
