A weapon-related incident occurred in St. Petersburg where an inebriated individual allegedly fired at an acquaintance inside their own apartment, prompting detention by law enforcement. The report is attributed to Fontanka.ru.
Local authorities received a call from a resident reporting that a friend had fired a shot inside a residence on Badaev Street. The alleged victim sustained a significant finger injury and required medical attention. When officers arrived, the person believed to be the suspect was already under medical care.
The injury to the finger was severe, with the limb reportedly damaged and severed. Additionally, the victim endured multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck, and was admitted to a hospital in serious condition. The situation prompted immediate on-scene action by emergency responders and investigators.
Later, the suspect was detained at the location on the same day. While in custody, authorities indicated that the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs and could not be questioned at the scene. A weapon license for a traumatic pistol and a shotgun was found in the detainee’s possession. It remains unclear what firearm was used during the incident the previous night.
In a separate case, a prior event involving a Russian individual reportedly resulted in a fatal shooting of a partner during an earlier hunting activity, as noted in investigative summaries.
Authorities are conducting a broad inquiry to determine the exact sequence of events, assess whether additional individuals were involved, and establish the motives behind the violence. Medical personnel have provided updates about the victim’s condition and outlined treatment plans as the investigation continues. Details about the weapon, the time frame, and the full extent of the injuries are expected to emerge through ongoing inquiries and official statements. The case highlights the ongoing concerns about drug use, firearm accessibility, and domestic safety within crowded urban environments.
