Her second picture, which was used as the target, was triggering and part of an art catalog. According to Big News Network, she used one of the works of medieval Italian painter Tommaso Del Mazza from an illustrated catalog as a target.

Likewise, when Blick questioned her about the post and whether she might have hurt the religious feelings of Christians and Muslims with this action, Sanija sincerely apologized for her actions.
Her apology statement reads, “As a template for the 10-meter shooting, I needed motifs that were visible enough. I only had the Koller catalog to hand, which was big enough.”
Sanija further continued her apology by saying that she didn’t pay attention to the content of the pictures, which wasn’t right, and she was sorry from the bottom of her heart if she had hurt anyone.
She also asked for forgiveness from people hurt by her actions, stating that her actions were absolutely stupid and selfish.
