According to the woman, she did not see her son for several days, and she learned about what happened at the military registration and enlistment office from the news.

“Recently, Ruslan lived with his grandmother. In the morning, he told her that he had gone to the draft board as a volunteer. Then we could not get through to him, and then we saw this news. Ruslan himself did not receive a summons, but yesterday it came to his best friend. Ruslan was very upset because his friend did not serve in the army. They said that there would be partial mobilization, but it turns out that they are taking everyone, ”said Marina Zinina.

Where the son got the weapon from, the woman does not know.

Ruslan Zinin opened fire from a machine gun in the building of the military registration and enlistment office in the room where the military commissar was instructing mobilized citizens.

Before firing, Zinin said “now we’ll all go home,” after which he ordered everyone in the hall to leave him.

Then Zinin shot at the military commissar three or five more times.
