| [RT] Two people including a nine-year-old girl have been injured as an ex-police officer opened fire from his apartment in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. A Special Forces unit was deployed to detain the shooter. On Sunday evening, the gunman opened fire in one of the sleepy residential districts of Yekaterinburg. The shooter armed with a hunting rifle seemed to randomly target people in the street from a balcony of his apartment, according to local media. One witness revealed how he was driving by with his friends when they felt something was wrong and left the car only to see “a man opening fire from his hunting rifle.” The men then rushed to their car and sought to drive away when the gunman started shooting at them. “The bullets were hitting the road right behind our car,” the witness said, adding that he was “in shock.” Some videos published on the social media show the chaotic scenes that unfolded in the nearby streets as the gunman opened fire.
