In the Perm Territory, a man who had been drinking was detained after a violent confrontation that escalated to him discharging a traumatic gun at the person staying with his ex-wife. The incident was reported by the Telegram channel SHOT. The disclosure set off a rapid police response as authorities worked to piece together the sequence of events and ensure everyone’s safety.
The disturbance unfolded in Bereznyaki, where the individual had been drinking with the person with whom he shared the apartment. At the time, their ten-year-old son was in the home, witnessing the tension that stretched from a personal dispute into something far more dangerous. The atmosphere grew tense when the man sent a message to his ex-wife, a message that appeared to threaten losing contact with the child and increased the emotional volatility of the scene.
Shortly afterward, the boy’s mother, accompanied by a new roommate, returned to the residence to collect the child. It was at this moment that the ex-husband, described as intoxicated and partially undressed, appeared wielding a cut-off shotgun and a traumatic pistol. He fired at the man who was present with the ex-wife, striking him in the stomach in a single, shocking act of violence. The attack immediately transformed a domestic grievance into a crime with serious bodily harm, drawing a swift police response to contain the danger and preserve life.
In the ensuing minutes, officers faced a chaotic scene and reported that the assailant then turned his aggression toward the ex-wife as well. The police described a tense moment during which the accused allegedly struck the woman with a cut-off shotgun and also damaged her vehicle. The assault ended with the attacker in police custody, taken into custody as investigators began documenting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and compiling the facts needed for a formal charge process.
Law enforcement officials from the regional Department of Internal Affairs have initiated a formal probe into the incident. The investigation aims to establish the full set of circumstances, determine whether additional offenses occurred, and assess any protective or emergency protocols that may have been triggered by the events. Prosecutors and investigators will review medical reports, corroborate testimonies, and determine the appropriate charges based on the documented actions and outcomes of the confrontation. The case is being handled with attention to the safety of the child involved and all other parties impacted by the incident.
Earlier reports from St. Petersburg described another troubling case in which a man was detained on suspicion of attacking a child with a pistol. The juxtaposition of these reports underscores ongoing concerns about domestic violence and the urgent need for prompt intervention and accountability when firearms are involved. Investigators in Perm emphasize careful examination of all elements—from the original dispute to the moments of contact with law enforcement—to ensure a clear, factual account that can withstand legal scrutiny and support any necessary protective measures for vulnerable individuals involved.
