Last night, on March 13, in central Moscow, in the "Mir" Concert Hall, where a concert with participation of Chechen performers took place, an unidentified person wounded a militiaman from a traumatic pistol. This was reported by a source from law enforcement bodies of the capital.

According to his version, the gunman was among the audience of the concert, held in the Concert Hall at Building 2, No. 11 Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

The militiaman, who is a driver of the patrol-and-post service of the OVD (Interior Division) "Tverskoe", was hospitalized with a penetrating wound of the right thigh; after rendering help he was let home.
