Nine people have been killed in Russia’s Tver region following a drunken argument at a party. The suspected shooter has been named as part-time electrician, 45-year old Sergei Yegorov, the Meduza news site reported Monday.
During the party, Yegorov claimed to have served as a Russian paratrooper, prompting disagreement from his companions. Yegorov then allegedly left to retrieve a Kalashnikov before returning to the gathering.
Before opening fire on partygoers, Yegorov reportedly said, “Now I’ll show how I can shoot.” He then allegedly told one woman to start digging her own grave.
