In Kyiv, police detained two men who opened fire with a pistol while driving a car
In the Darnytskyi district of the capital, law enforcement officers arrested two young men who, during a vehicle journey, engaged in shooting. The incident occurred on Wednesday, May 19, and has already attracted significant attention from residents and on social media, especially due to a video posted that captures this event. According to official information from Kyiv police, social media posts revealed video evidence of the aggressive behavior of the young men, who fired a pistol from the windows of their car. This happened while the vehicle was moving, and they, apparently, sought to abuse their trust in their own recklessness, believing that such behavior was "normal." However, thanks to active police efforts, the men were quickly located and detained. Details from Kyiv police indicate that the incident took place around 1:30 p.m. Fortunately, there were no victims or injuries resulting from the shooting. It turned out that at the time of detention, the suspects were in a local restaurant, likely trying to "cover up" the fallout from their reckless actions. The police began operational measures immediately after the videos appeared on social media. About an hour later, law enforcement officers managed to establish the exact whereabouts of the driver and the passenger in the vehicle—specifically, an “Audi” with the license plates #KA7006KB. Both men were detained without resistance and taken to the station for further investigation. As reported on social networks and through posts in Telegram channels, this incident served as another vivid reminder that a negligent attitude towards legal prohibitions and dangers—such as public shooting—can end in ways the offenders do not desire. The conflict with the law was promptly halted, and the offenders are now facing responsibility in accordance with current legislation. Currently, the police are investigating to clarify possible motives and circumstances behind this provocative behavior. Authorities urge residents not to repeat such actions and to avoid conflicts that could have serious consequences not only for the participants but also for others. It is known that penalties and criminal liability for shooting are provided by legislation. In conclusion, this reckless incident once again reminded Kyiv residents and visitors of the importance of observing safety rules and social responsibility. The police pledge to continue intensively fighting violators, as safety on city streets remains their top priority.
