A man with a gunshot wound to the neck was hospitalized in one of the city's hospitals, "- told" FACTAM "the head of the communications department of the main department of the National Police in the Dnepropetrovsk region Olga Kuznetsova.

But according to the testimony of the employees of the Internet portal where the victim worked, during the speech, when the journalist was tried to tie him up, he "was suddenly knocked to the ground and his hands were bent behind his back. Worked and a few painful grips: put a gun barrel and a submachine gun on the neck and tried to tie your hands together with a plastic rope. Then, lifting the guy by the hair from the ground, pushed into the building. At that moment, there was a shot. ".
