[KavkazUzel] The police of Karachay-Cherkessia reported the detention of wedding participants in the village of Zeyuko, who opened fire while the motorcade was moving.
In the republics of the North Caucasus, the tradition of shooting at weddings has been preserved, although it is considered an offense. The ritual of shooting at a Caucasian wedding was considered a "talisman against the evil eye," but the ancient tradition has long since turned into an element of fun and courage, as Caucasian experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" stated in 2018. "Many Caucasians have already forgotten the true meaning of shooting and shoot because it is fun," said, in particular, Akhmet Yarlykapov.
The traffic violators were detained and "confessed," law enforcement officials said.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, law enforcement officers learned about the incident from a video about a wedding in the village of Zeyuko in the Khabez district of the republic published on social networks. Two videos were published on the Telegram channel chp_kchr.
The footage shows several cars driving along a narrow rural road between private homes. The drivers honk their horns and try to overtake each other, deliberately causing light collisions between cars and trying to tear off the bumper of the "competitor's" car. People are watching the "race" in the yard of one of the houses, one person is standing on the roof with a flag. At some point, the driver of the white Toyota sticks his hand out of the car window with a gun and fires a series of shots into the air.
The Karachay-Cherkessia Interior Ministry Department reported today that "all violators were taken to the police department," without specifying how many people were detained. "In addition to the shooting, gross violations of traffic rules were recorded, expressed in dangerous driving by drivers of several cars that were also participating in the motorcade," the department's official Telegram channel said.
The weapon used in the shooting has been confiscated and sent for examination, based on its results, law enforcement officers intend to qualify the shooter's actions. The drivers who violated traffic rules have been brought to administrative responsibility.
Earlier, the " Caucasian Knot " reported that in February 2024, the police reported the arrest of 10 participants in a wedding procession for shooting in the center of Cherkessk. The court subsequently found the detainees guilty of disobeying police officers and arrested them for terms ranging from five to 13 days. In January of the same year, a seven-year-old girl was injured as a result of shooting at a wedding in the Ust-Dzhegutinsky District of Karachay-Cherkessia; a resident of Rostov-on-Don detained after the incident admitted guilt .
