Those who were waiting screamed and ran away.
A 25-year-old man who lives in the area opened fire in a conscription office around 10am today local time.

“Jinin Ruslan. Belgradetskaya Street.”
The draftsman, who was shot in the chest from a distance of less than a meter, was immediately taken to hospital, but is in a serious condition.
Local media reported that the suspect used a rifle that appeared to be home-made, and it was confirmed that there were no metal detectors at the conscription office.
In the city of Ryazan, south-east of Moscow, a man was arrested today for trying to self-denial in front of a conscription bus against the war.
As protests against conscription and desertions continue, Russian President Putin has signed a bill that would allow soldiers who voluntarily surrender or refuse to fight to be detained for up to 10 years.
