Yesterday, July 14, a shooting occurred in the Ternivskyi district of Kryvyi Rih, in which three people were injured. The incident occurred during a check of documents from a local resident by law enforcement officers and representatives of the territorial recruitment center (TCK).
According to the official police version, a 51-year-old man was stopped during the so-called “area sweep.” Instead of presenting his documents, he began to resist — he used a gas canister and a screwdriver against the officers, injuring a police officer and a representative of the CCC. In response, one of the law enforcement officers opened fire.
According to local media outlet Svoi, at least four shots were fired at the scene. Eyewitnesses say that after the incident, the wounded civilian was lying on the ground, and a police officer with a gun was standing over him. Police confirmed that three people were hospitalized as a result of the incident — the man himself, a law enforcement officer, and a CCC employee. The condition of the injured has not yet been disclosed.
It is previously known that the detainee is a conscript and was wanted. This could have provoked his attempt to escape and resist. Criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 2 of Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violence against a law enforcement officer).
The investigation is currently being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation and the police. Details regarding the legality of the actions of law enforcement officers, as well as the legality of the use of firearms, are still being clarified.
