Shots fired at trolleybus in Babruisk, ticket collector wounded
Police detain the hooligan with a previous imprisonment record who fired shots at a trolleybus in Babruisk.
A hooligan fired at a trolleybus with an air pistol in Babruisk on March 28. The 17-year-old person shot thrice and broke the window panel. The ticket collector, 54, was injured by the broken glass.
The young man was in the trolleybus with a friend, Komsomolskaya Pravda reports. When the ticket collector got on and demanded that they paid the fare, they refused. Getting off, the culprit said: “People like you should be shot down.” And he did shoot.
The police detained the young men soon afterwards. The driver and ticket collectors also tried to detain them but the teenagers… kept shooting.
‘The shooter’ has already been jailed for a theft and drug dealing before. He is facing from 7 to 10 years of imprisonment for shooting at people and the trolleybus.
A jitney was shot at in Babruisk on Mach 27. The window was broken but nobody was injured. It turned out that it had been done by an 18-year-old teenager who used the same air pistol as the young men who shot at the trolleybus the next day. He has also been detained.
