A Tajik man fatally shot two officers at Moldova’s airport after he was denied entry, officials say
CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Authorities in Moldova say a Tajikistan national who was denied entry into the country at its main international airport grabbed a guard’s weapon and fatally shot two security officers. One traveler also was wounded in the attack Friday. The suspect was being escorted by officials at Chisinau International Airport when he “took the gun of a border guard” and opened fire, authorities said. Special forces then intervened, subdued the suspect and handcuffed him, leaving him seriously injured. All passengers were evacuated from the airport. Moldova’s acting Prosecutor General Ion Munteanu told journalists late Friday that the suspect had arrived from Istanbul, Turkey.
