Fell - tripped

In the Murmansk region, fellow soldiers kicked a soldier and then shot him in the back of the head. The victim, Alexander Belsky, survived almost miraculously - he spent two months in a coma. The Military Prosecutor's Office of the Pechenga garrison opened a criminal case regarding the gunshot wound. The command of the military unit calls the incident a “suicide attempt.” The desire to “hush up the matter” is quite natural for our military, but how could one think of calling a person who was shot from behind “suicide”?
