Police in the Khmelnytskyi region eliminated an armed criminal who, after shooting our colleague, fled into a forest belt and continued to pose a deadly threat to others. While fleeing, he threw a grenade toward foresters who were traveling in a car. Fortunately, they were not injured. He no longer cared whose life he took. In a single moment, the decision not to commit a violation because he was deprived of the right to drive turned into a decision to kill
According to him, police special forces were dispatched to search for the criminal. When the attacker saw the police armored vehicle, he began shooting again. In response, the police acted professionally—the shooter was eliminated.
Addendum
However, the head of the National Police added that no successfully completed special operation will bring back the life of the police officer who died today in the line of duty.
Every day, police officers go on duty understanding that they may not return to their families. But we continue to do our job. Even at the cost of our own lives. I offer my condolences to the family of our fallen colleague, Serhiy Chornyi. His memory will remain in our hearts forever
