The incident reportedly occurred a few days ago in a village in the Nerubay community. A 43-year-old local man came to his friend's house drunk in the evening and started calling him. The owner of the house came out into the yard, but when he saw through the gate that the guest was holding a hunting shotgun, he refused to come out to him.
