I told the members what my instructions were, that if shots were fired at us, we should take no chances, we should respond and answer with fire ourselves, and when one shot and a volley was fired, we then immediately answered back and fired. I admit, I emptied the magazine and plus minus 10 additional bullets.  So altogether about 30 bullets which I fired into the bus. I don't know how many rounds were shot or fired by my colleagues, and the teargas which hung over the mini-bus and also the fact that the sound was muffled inside the Casspir, I can't remember whether there was any further gun-fire from the mini-bus.  My explosive experts told me at some stage when I asked how many shots had been fired from the AK-47s, I can't recall what their answer was, but several AK-47 spent cartridges were found inside the mini-bus.
