Getting Onboard

Eventually, the 17-hour long hijacking finally finished. After opening fire on the passengers at 21:30 Pakistan Standard Time, the criminals quickly ran out of ammunition, and very few passengers were injured by the bullets. This allowed them to flee the aircraft through the emergency exits. It wasn't long after this initial escape that authorities stormed the aircraft and seized the hijackers.
