In Izberbas, a city in Dagestan, a 58-year-old former officer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was involved in a shooting incident that left a 16-year-old boy wounded. Reports circulating on Telegram channels describe the event and identify the shooter as Mash Gor.
The social media channel further notes that the retiree had been working at a gas station, a detail that aligns with information suggesting the teenage victim had also been employed at a gas station part-time since the summer of 2023. This paints a picture of two colleagues with shared work experience who were placed in a tense confrontation that escalated quickly.
According to Mash Gor, a dispute erupted between the two gas station workers. The veteran employee, allegedly unsettled by the younger coworker’s behavior—described as joking, dancing, and frequently checking his phone while requesting loans—allegedly retrieved an air pistol from a supply room used to deter wildlife. The weapon was directed at the younger man, and shots were fired, according to the account.
As a result, the teenager sustained a punctured lung and required hospitalization. The shooter contends that the gun was discharged accidentally during the confrontation. A criminal case has been opened against the retiree as investigators review the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine whether charges are warranted.
In a separate report from Novosibirsk, a separate gun-related assault was described, noting that a man was hospitalized after a street shooting. While details differ from the Dagestan case, the mention underscores ongoing concerns about firearm use and public safety in various regions. Authorities emphasize the importance of thorough investigation and accountability in all such cases to prevent future harm.
