According to preliminary reports, in the morning, 50-year-old Tigran Khachikyan took with him two pump-action shotguns, cartridges, two pre-prepared Molotov cocktails, and a music speaker. He got into a taxi on Burtsav's street and drove to the 'Prospect Veteranov' metro station.
From there, he got into another vehicle and proceeded to Sadovaya Street, then walked towards the metro's Gostiny Dvor station. Not far from the entrance, the man took out the speaker and played music, which caught the attention of the police officers.
To clarify the situation, the officers approached him, and the foreign man yelled at them, 'Run!'. One of the police officers attempted to detain the attacker, but he pulled out a shotgun and fired several times at the officer.
It is noteworthy that Tigran Khachikyan, 50, from Uzbekistan, fired several shots at a 43-year-old OMON officer. The officer required urgent medical assistance.
