June 17, Mogilev. A drunken man shot at teenagers with pneumatics to scare them. BelTA was informed about this by Tatyana Starosotnikova, official representative of the USC in the Mogilev region.

The Mogilev inter-district department of the Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case on the fact of particularly malicious hooliganism. According to the investigation, on the evening of June 11 in Mogilev, a message was received that several shots from pneumatic weapons were fired from the window of a multi-storey building in the direction of teenagers who were in the yard.

Upon arrival at the scene, the investigative team found that the shots were fired from the open window of one of the apartments on Nepokorennykh Boulevard, where a company began to rest the night before, in which they drank ALCOHOL and had fun shooting at plastic bottles right in the room.

The "feast" continued the next day. When the woman decided to smoke, she opened the window and saw teenagers smoking in the yard. Young people did not react to her remark. And then one of the men who were resting with her in the company of men went to the window and fired several shots in the direction of the guys. Fortunately, none of them were hurt.

The investigator conducted an inspection of the scene, interrogated the suspect, witnesses and victims, seized a pistol, and assigned a number of expert studies.

When studying the personality of the defendant, it was established that he had previously been convicted of intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm, which negligently caused the death of the victim. The 30-year-old man was released from prison at the end of 2019, and after that he was working in RUSSIA, from where he returned in early May. There he also acquired pneumatics.

The man's actions are qualified under Part 3 of Article 339 (particularly malicious hooliganism) of the Criminal Code of Belarus. He is detained.

The criminal investigation is ongoing.
