Stavropol: Lezginka ended with gunshots

On the night of October 21, 2010, in Stavropol, several people from the Caucasus were attacked, who at 2 a.m., next to one of the local cinemas, were loudly listening to music and dancing lezginka. 10 young people approached the cinema and, without saying anything, began shooting at the dancers with traumatic weapons. After this, the attackers fled.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, only two people sought medical attention with non-life-threatening injuries.

A criminal case has been initiated into the attack under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism).

In addition, three reports of administrative offenses were drawn up against the people from the Caucasus themselves, who accompanied the dances with shouts, whistling and swearing. They are accused under Part 1 of Article 20 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (petty hooliganism).
