Authorities in Novosibirsk are actively pursuing a man who opened fire at a coach responsible for a children’s section, according to reports gathered by kp.ru. The incident occurred in the Rodniki district, a residential area where a heated exchange between the coach and an unidentified male escalated suddenly. The assailant fired a shot with a handgun and fled the scene, leaving the coach shaken but alive.
In a statement from the injured party, the coach explained that the assailant struck during a dispute and that the shot struck him in the arm. First responders arrived promptly; the coach accepted initial medical care and declined transportation to a hospital, choosing to continue treatment on site. The investigation is now focused on establishing the attacker’s identity and tracing the events that led to the confrontation.
Reports from mk.ru suggest the dispute may have centered on money, with the assailant initially threatening the coach with an air gun before firing. The victim involved is a coach for a children’s sambo program, underscoring concerns about violence directed at youth-oriented activities. The authorities have pledged to review all available evidence and monitor nearby surveillance footage as part of the inquiry.
Separately, in Ingushetia, two unidentified individuals wearing masks rushed into a location, resulting in one person being injured and transported to a hospital for treatment. The details surrounding that incident remain under investigation as authorities work to determine motive and identify those involved. (Source: kp.ru; source corroboration: mk.ru)
