Makhachkala native killed in shootout in Moscow

As a result of a shootout in Western Moscow, Gasan Abdullaev, a 28-year-old native of Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, was shot dead, sources reported. The Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF) has reported a start of inquiry.

At night on August 15, in Western of Moscow, in Kutuzov Avenue, the body of a man born in 1993 with gunshot wounds was found.

According to the preliminary version, the casualty was Gasan Abdullaev, a native of Makhachkala; cameras recorded those who shot him dead running away, the REN TV Channel wrote in its website on August 15, citing an unnamed source.

The message says that six unknown assailants attacked Abdullaev at night on August 15 near the "Magnolia" store. Two of them opened fire. The attackers fled in two Toyota Camry cars, the TV Channel has reported.

Presumably, all the participants in the incident are natives of Northern Caucasus; the shells found at the venue indicate that the shooting was delivered from four pistols. Presumably, there are still more victims, the "Lenta.ru" reported on August 15.
