- MOSCOW: At least six unidentified gunmen opened fire on security guards at a provincial food market in the southern Russian city of Samara on Saturday, killing at least two people and wounding at least five, investigators said.
The attackers arrived at the market in three cars and opened fire before fleeing, Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Five people were hospitalized, it said.
Even the smallest of Russian enterprises employs security guards, who are often in the line of fire when business disputes turn violent. State television reported the Samara market was changing ownership.
Russian news agencies earlier reported 14 had been hurt in the shooting.
