Shootout in Moscow
A gangster-like drama, similar to a
Hollywood movie, occurred outside a sushi bar on Kutuzovsky prospect in
Moscow last night. Several men jumped out of two luxury cars at around
2:00 a. m. and gunned down a group of visitors to the bar, firing from
two submachine guns through the bar window, The gangsters dropped their
guns and disappeared. Police have found the guns on the site of the
shooting, including one provided with a silencer, and no less than 25
empty cartridge shells. The gunfire that ravaged the bar killed a 31-
year old man from Moscow, and four other visitors, including a man from
Chechnya, were hospitalised with serious wounds. Moscow Interior police
department believes that the shooting last night was a result of a
"settlement of scores" between different criminal groups and
was a crime committed to contract. The police are investigating.
