A video released through the Telegram channel of the Perm region police portrays an incident in which shots were fired at a vehicle that did not stop at a police request. The footage, circulated in the evening hours, documents a confrontation between law enforcement officers and a driver who chose to accelerate away rather than halt when signaled to do so. The scene appears to capture a moment of high tension as a service weapon was deployed in an effort to bring the pursuit to a stop.
According to the initial account, the chase began after officers observed a VAZ-21099 sedan without visible license plates near the village of Petushki. Despite attempts to pull the vehicle over, the driver accelerated, prompting a pursuit. During the pursuit, Senior Lieutenant Gavranin reportedly drew his AKS-74 service rifle and fired at the car up to thirty times. The video analysis indicates a sustained volley rather than a single, isolated shot, suggesting a deliberate decision to intervene in the speeding incident. (attribution: Baza)
Two passengers in the VAZ-21099 sustained injuries from the firearm discharge and were transported to a medical facility for treatment. The driver was apprehended and taken to the police station for processing. Authorities later determined that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the incident, adding a layer of concern to the safety and legality aspects of the pursuit. (attribution: Baza)
Law enforcement officials noted that the vehicle’s license plates were cancelled as part of the ongoing proceedings. The investigation into the incident remains active, and officials indicated that a procedural decision would follow the completion of the inquiry. The case has drawn attention to the use of force during traffic stops and the circumstances under which officers may engage a fleeing suspect. (attribution: Baza)
