Numerous Killed In Kyiv Shooting
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Europe Bureau Chief
KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – At least six people were killed after a gunman opened fire in a district of Kyiv before barricading himself inside a supermarket, where he later died in a confrontation with police, officials said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, quoting Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, said five people were initially confirmed dead in the Ukrainian capital’s Holosiivskyi district, while 10 others were receiving treatment in hospital.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on social media platform Telegram that one of the injured, a woman, later died of her wounds, raising the death toll to six.
Disturbing video footage obtained by Worthy News appeared to show a man firing at close range, with witnesses reacting in shock.
“Special forces of the national police stormed the store where the attacker was. He took people hostage and shot at a policeman during his detention. Before that, negotiators tried to contact him,” Klitschko confirmed.
POLICE KILL SHOOTER
“The shooter in Kyiv was liquidated during the arrest,” Klymenko added in remarks published on Telegram.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said the suspect had been identified as a 58-year-old man originally from Moscow.
He added that a fire broke out in the Kyiv apartment where the suspect had been registered.
There was no immediate motive mentioned.
Shootings of this kind are relatively rare in Ukraine, where most large-scale civilian casualties in recent years have been linked to the ongoing war following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
