Two men had been taken into custody in the first hours of the police investigation, but were later released.[11] Another witness, the owner of a restaurant near the Agos office, said the assassin looked about 20, wore jeans and a cap and shouted "I shot the infidel" as he left the scene.[12] Dink's friend Orhan Alkaya suggested that the three-shot assassination technique was a signature mark of the Kurdish Hezbollah.[13] Dink's wife and daughter collapsed when they heard the news, and were taken to the hospital.
