Previously, "Caucasian Knot" reported that at the end of March, a shootout involving police occurred in the village of Nizhny Dzhengutai in Dagestan, in which three people were injured, including two security officers. The shootout with security forces in Nizhny Dzhengutai was sparked by a domestic dispute, in which police officers intervened.
