Details of the incident

The attention of Podolsk law enforcement officers was drawn to a car whose front windows were tinted.

When law enforcement officers demanded that the vehicle stop, the driver behind the wheel actually increased speed.

The police fired a warning shot into the air to stop the reckless driver, but in response, the passenger in the suspect car fired several shots from an object tentatively identified as a firearm.

Law enforcement officers had to shoot at the car's wheels to stop it. The driver lost control and the car flipped onto its roof.

As a result, it turned out that there were six people in the cabin, three of whom were minors. There were no casualties as a result of the incident.
