As it was previously reported, the incident happened early in the morning on January 1st. The police received a phone call informing, that residents of a flat in the flat building №28 in Zviazda Newspaper Avenue were too noisy and the neighbors couldn’t sleep. The police arrived quickly, as the local police station is situated in the next building.

Three police officers arrived at the site and the owner of the flat, which had been complained about, came out to them. Needless to say, the 28-year-old employee of JSC Keramin was drunk. No one saw what happened next, as the guests were inside the apartment. But suddenly they heard the shots and ran out into the staircase landing.

According to witnesses, the policeman literally cold bloodedly shot the flat owner. Allegedly, he made one shot on the man's back, and the other one – on his legs. At that the policeman, who was shooting, immediately ran away from the scene, the other two policemen remained at the place.

Human rights activists say that the case against the police shooting on New Year's Eve is one-sided.
