Armenia’s Investigative Committee has completed the preliminary investigation into an Azerbaijani serviceman who entered a home in Shaki and wounded a woman with a firearm. The case has been forwarded to the supervising prosecutor with an indictment, Factor.am reports.
At a November 3 press briefing, Investigative Committee Chairman Artur Poghosyan said the serviceman had not intended to kill anyone when he opened fire. According to Poghosyan, the soldier testified that he had lost his way because of fog.
On October 1, it emerged that the Azerbaijani serviceman had crossed Armenia’s state border, entered a home in Shaki and fired shots. A 39-year-old woman sustained a gunshot wound, while one of her children was also injured.
Law enforcement officers subsequently located and arrested the serviceman.
