Moscow police chief gets life for drunken shooting spree

Major Denis Yevsyukov opened fire last April inside and outside a Moscow supermarket. He killed a cab driver and wounded several passers-by in the street, then gunned down a cashier and a customer in the market. He then held two dozen people hostage for several hours and shot at police officers before they disarmed and detained him.

In footage from the supermarket’s security cameras, the uniformed Yevsyukov was seen cold-bloodedly shooting the cashier, wounding several customers and forcing others at gunpoint to a storage room where he promised to “spill their brains on the wall”.
