Two policemen were shot down in Karachayevsk. Another law enforcer survived and is currently in intensive care. The shooters are being sought, as per Telegram channels Mash, SHOT, and Baza, associated with law enforcement.
The attack happened near the Niznny market. The policemen’s firearms – guns and a Kalashnikov – were stolen.
Investigators initiated a criminal case for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, and theft of weapons and ammunition. According to the Investigative Committee, there was just one attacker who fired several shots at the police squad of the Karachayevsky department while they were on duty.
