Police and suspect engaged in gunfire in Makhachkala, captured on video by bystanders
In a chilling shootout that took place on May 5, a group of unidentified assailants waged war against traffic police officers in Makhachkala, resulting in the tragic loss of three law enforcement personnel.
Onlookers, who happened to capture the gruesome incident on video, recount harrowing scenes of mayhem and gunfire. The video reveals three men scampering around a car and trading bursts of fire. Bystanders, innocent civilians, were only a stone's throw away from the hailstorm of bullets. One attacker, brandishing an automatic weapon, didn't think twice about pointing it straight at an unsuspecting house resident – a moment caught on camera.
Sources suggest that there were initially three attackers. With their automatic weapons blazing, they ambushed a patrol unit. Authorities managed to take down one of the attackers with retaliatory fire, while another assailant succumbed to injuries at a nearby hospital.
