Talking is a life necessity, but knowing when and how to talk, especially with the corona virus anxiety, can save man from fatalities including death.
This was probably the point that a man in Central Russia had tried to prove but in a very harsh way.
He had sent five people to their untimely graves by shooting because they dared to talk noisily by his window, the AFP has reported.
The shootings took place in the Ryazan region during stay-at-home orders aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
A 32-year-old man who was not named is native to the small town of Yelatma.
He had opened fire on a group of four young men and a woman who “was talking loudly in the street under his windows” at around 10 pm on Saturday, investigators said.
Yelatma is located near the city of Ryazan, which is situated some 200 kilometres (120 miles) southeast of the capital Moscow.
The report added that the man went to his balcony to complain to the group and a dispute erupted before he reached for his single-barrel hunting rifle, the Investigative Committee said.
“They all died of their injuries on the spot,” it said in a statement.
The suspect whose name was not released has been arrested. His apartment has been searched and the weapon seized.
Deputy Ryazan region governor Igor Grekov travelled to the scene of the shootings on Sunday.
