After this, the man was led out of the premises, but then he returned with a pistol. It is reported that he was showing aggression and urged the guards to go outside to 'talk.' But when the guards refused, the criminal pulled out the pistol and opened fire on the security personnel.

Witnesses report hearing at least six shots. After the shots, panic ensued, and people began to rush out of the shopping mall, screaming and crying.

It is noted that as a result of the shooting, three people were injured.

The attacker was taken outside, and before his arrest, he claimed that he opened fire in self-defense. An investigation is currently underway.

Let us recall that in Kryvyi Rih, a criminal shot a man right in the middle of the street and fled. The police detained a 38-year-old attacker.
