Additional information:

The camera crew of Moscow TV channel "Auto 24" was fired at on the way to Domodedovo airport. Journalists on the way to the airport noticed how the car was being driven poorly as a girl tried to learn to drive on an expensive car. The TV station caught up with the car to see who was driving. When the cars became level, the driver fired a weapon into the side window of the crew's car. As one of the journalists who was in the car told a newspaper, the driver aimed directly at the head of the driver of the camera crew from an open window. When the police arrived, the gunman introduced himself as an "FSB officer."
