In Kaluga, reports emerged about a confrontation that escalated when a group of young people opened fire at a residence after a local man asked them to lower the volume of music coming from his car. The incident was first reported by the Telegram channel Typical Kaluga, which has been monitoring local events in the city.
The episode reportedly unfolded on Nikolo-Kozinskaya Street, around 9 p.m. on a Saturday. A Zhiguli car halted in front of a multi-story residential building, its occupants turning up the music to a volume that drew the resident’s attention. The man who lived in the building stepped out onto his balcony to request quieter playback. In what residents described as a violent response, gunshots were heard shortly after the request was made, sending a chill through the block.
Initial assessments indicate that the attackers used traumatic weapons. The resident who had confronted the sound level managed to exit the premises without sustaining injuries. However, the apartment’s window suffered damage from the gunfire, with three bullet cracks left visible on the glass. Authorities have been informed, and the victims have filed a formal complaint with police to pursue possible charges and identify those responsible.
Authorities in Kaluga are currently reviewing surveillance footage and talking to witnesses to establish the sequence of events and any potential injuries beyond the initial reports. The event has prompted local officials to remind residents about safety procedures and the importance of reporting suspicious activity promptly. While investigations continue, residents are urged to remain vigilant and cooperative with law enforcement authorities.
In a related but separate incident earlier in Novosibirsk, local police described a case where a Mazda driver allegedly caused damage while maneuvering through shopping pavements and then fled the scene. The two events underline ongoing concerns about reckless driving and public safety in cities across the region. Local authorities emphasize that any incident involving weapons or threats to residents will be investigated thoroughly, with a focus on accountability and public safety.
