What happened during the courtroom assassination in Sri Lanka?

Suspected drug kingpin Ganemula Sanjeeva was shot dead inside a crowded courtroom in Sri Lanka by a gunman disguised as a lawyer. Despite being escorted by elite Special Task Force commandos for a bail hearing, Sanjeeva was attacked at close range moments after arriving at Colombo Magistrates Court. The precision attack has raised serious questions about security in Sri Lankan courts. Authorities have recovered the murder weapon (a revolver), identified the attacker, and launched a manhunt. This incident is part of a pattern of gang-related violence in Sri Lanka, with police data indicating at least nine people have been killed in similar shootings this year.
