“A serviceman from one of the military units in the Odessa region, armed with a loaded pistol, locked himself in the apartment of his friend, where both the woman and her minor child were,” the statement says.
It is noted that when trying to communicate, the man refused to open the door, expressed reluctance to live and suicidal intentions, and also said that he had cut his hands and was bleeding.
Suspecting that the armed man was in an inadequate state, the officers of the military unit called the police.
The soldier was taken to the hospital
“In order to ensure the safety of the woman and child, and to prevent the military man from committing suicide, the door was forcibly opened,” the Defense Forces said.
The perpetrator of the incident was taken to a military hospital. The woman and child were not injured. Analysis and study of all circumstances continues.
