A woman bailiff and armed guard reportedly suffered bullet wounds when shots were fired in the building of the Moscow Region’s court, lawyer Sofia Rubasskaya said.
"We were at a different session when heard shots fired. More than 20 shots were made. We began to be evacuated. I saw a wounded woman bailiff, her face in blood. Later somebody said that an armed guard had been injured," TASS cited her as saying.
Spokeswoman for the Moscow Regional Court, Natalya Osipova, said the incident took place at a hearing in a case of a gang of nine people who have terrorized Moscow roads, killing more than a dozen of motorists.
No other details were immediately available.
