MOSCOW, October 28. In Moscow, a native of Tajikistan fired a traumatic pistol at a bus passenger, according to the Telegram channel of the capital department of the Russian Investigative Committee.
According to the investigation, the incident occurred on Saturday at a bus stop on Sofia Kovalevskaya Street. The criminal, “wanting to contrast himself with others and demonstrate his disdain for them,” fired a traumatic weapon into the asphalt, from which the bullet ricocheted at a woman standing nearby with her child. Then the man got on the bus and shot at the passenger.
«The defendant was promptly detained, and in the near future he will be delivered to the department of the capital's Investigative Committee to carry out investigative actions,” the department said.
As the press service of the capital’s Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs clarified, at a bus stop there was a verbal conflict between a passer-by and the attacker, during which he shot at asphalt, presumably from an air pistol, hit the woman with a ricochet.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article “Hooliganism.”
