During the fire fight, two of the attackers were killed. A woman passing by was also killed.

The reason for the conflict was the kidnapping of the bride 21-year-old Khaga Evloeva, a relative of Magomed Evloev, Major of the Department to Combat Economic Crimes (known as UBEP). Local residents, Bogatyryov brothers, tried to kidnap a potential bride for the fourth time already. Earlier attempts have failed because of disagreement of the girl's relatives.

The policeman, who took part in the fire fight, was detained. This was reported by the "Life News" with reference to a source from the MIA of Ingushetia.
