Shooting the ground, which ricochets and hits a 17-year-old suspect.

As a result, the police reportedly shot at the concrete ground two times and the 17-year-old suspect was hit once by a stray bullet. Another suspect was able to flee, reported the police.

The police fired a warning shot into the air and the bullet unfortunately landed on the suspect's head. Next!
