“The girls were sitting in the gazebo by Lake Shipkino on 8 Marta Street in the evening, listening to music. The dog was tied to a tree nearby. At about half past seven in the evening they heard a shot,” a resident of the village said, according to the publication “74 ru”.
The man fired first, then said it was salt. However, he returned three minutes later and pointed the gun at the children. The girls then began to cover each other, then heard a shot and one felt something brush against her hair, the mother of one of the girls said.
