Russian policeman kills two in shooting
spree
MOSCOW (Reuters) - An off-duty police chief opened fire in a
supermarket in southern Moscow on Monday morning, killing at least
two people and wounding seven.
"During the night Denis Yevsyukov had a fight with his wife and
had a nervous breakdown," a city police spokeswoman said, adding he
then went on a shooting spree in the shop, randomly spraying
bullets at passersby.
The spokeswoman said two people were killed and seven wounded
while Russian media reported Yevsyukov killed three and wounded
six. It was not immediately clear what kind of weapon he used, the
spokeswoman said.
Russian news agencies reported Yevsyukov was celebrating his
32nd birthday in a cafe with his wife and father-in-law before he
became enraged and started shooting at 00:30 local time.
He killed a female cashier at the shop, Interfax reported.
