On the evening of 18 October, at approximately 21:40, an incident involving the use of a weapon occurred in a park on Bohdan Lepkyi Street, near School No. 21. According to law enforcement data, a dispute arose between a 29-year-old resident of Ternopil and a group of minors. As the conflict escalated, the man took out a stun pistol and fired several shots.
One of the shots hit a 15-year-old boy in the arm. The teenager received medical assistance and, according to media reports, is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital. An investigative and operational group, patrol police officers, and special police unit personnel arrived at the scene immediately.
Law enforcement officers identified the shooter and brought him to the district police department. They seized the weapon – a "Fort-17" model stun pistol – and ammunition for it. It turned out that the suspect had an official permit to possess this weapon.
Testing revealed that at the time of the incident, the 29-year-old man was in a state of severe alcohol intoxication: more than 2 per mille of alcohol was detected in his blood.
The police opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for liability for hooliganism committed with the use of a weapon. The penalty under this article provides for imprisonment for a term of three to seven years.
Currently, investigators are deciding on notifying the man of suspicion and selecting a preventive measure. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing under the procedural supervision of the Ternopil District Prosecutor's Office.
