Sverdlovsk police detained a man from the Urals who opened fire in the yard of his home.

      Officers of Police Department No. 16 in Nizhny Tagil, acting quickly, identified and detained the man who opened fire with a pistol in the yard of his own house on the night of January 22, press secretary of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region Valery Gorelykh told us.

      The shooting occurred on Lomonosov Street in the Leninsky District. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

      "The suspect turned out to be Russian Railways locomotive driver Aleksandr, born in 1981. He had previously been convicted in connection with illegal weapons trafficking and for assaulting a representative of the authorities. The gun was found and seized by police at his mother-in-law's home. It is a blank-firing pistol with the menacing name 'Bulldog,'" Colonel Gorelykh said.

      The shooting was allegedly triggered by an argument with his wife — she did not like that he had spent the money on pizza.

      "When investigators asked the owner of the 'Bulldog' whether such an act made sense, he mumbled, 'I let off some steam.' The detainee was taken to the duty unit of the local police department," Valery Gorelykh summed up.
