Six die in Kyiv shooting, hostage situation; police kill suspect
KYIV, UKRAINE April 18 (Reuters) - Six people were killed when a man opened fire on passersby in a Kyiv district on Saturday before barricading himself in a supermarket with hostages, where he was shot dead by police, authorities said.
Ukraine's Security Service said the shooting was being investigated as a terrorist act, but offered no motive.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said the shooting happened in the leafy Holosiivskyi district, injuring 14 people. "He took hostages and unfortunately, one of them was killed," Zelenskiy said. "Four people died simply on the street. One woman died in hospital after being seriously wounded." One of the wounded was a 12-year-old boy whose parents were also killed, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said. Reuters video footage showed emergency crews loading bodies into vehicles.
A woman who identified herself as Hanna said the suspect was a neighbour who steered clear of other residents. "He didn’t want to communicate with anyone," she said. "When I sat outside on the street - he knew me by my face - he would greet me briefly and hurry off to run his errands. He wasn't close with his neighbours or anyone else." Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said police stormed the supermarket after unsuccessfully trying to negotiate with the suspect for 40 minutes. He said the man, who owned a registered weapon and secured a medical certificate to use it, moved down the street and fired at people without warning before entering the supermarket. "He was simply shooting people at close range. He approached and shot them," Klymenko said. "So people had very little chance of survival." Kravchenko said the shooter had been identified as a man born in 1958, and was brandishing an automatic weapon. He posted a photo showing a blurred prone figure covered in blood inside a store, with a weapon lying nearby. Zelenskiy said the suspect had a criminal record and had set fire to the apartment where he was registered before going into the street with the gun. |
