The police press secretary of Vinnytsia region, Zarina Maevska, told «Obshchestvennoye» in a comment that there was also a civilian man in the police car where the shooting occurred on the night of April 20.
According to her, the police were called out twice that night for domestic violence incidents. «The first time, a protocol was drawn up against the offender, but soon after, a second call came in. This man tried to start a fight with relatives and resisted the police. That’s why they took him along to conduct an inspection and draw up a protocol,» Maevska explained.
She also clarified that it was on the way to the police station that the officers noticed a car with military personnel and decided to check their documents.
The civilian man who was in the police car at the time of the shooting was unharmed.
