Moscow policeman opens fire in public, kills 3

Russian investigators say a Moscow regional police chief has killed three people and seriously wounded four others after opening fire on

the street and in a supermarket in the city.

Federal investigators say the suspect, who heads a southern Moscow police department, opened fire Sunday night.

They say Maj. Denis Yevsyukov killed the driver of a car in which he was a passenger. Yevsyukov then entered a supermarket and shot to death the cashier and a customer, before shooting at other passers-by.

Of seven others whom Yevsyukov shot, four were reported to be in critical condition.

Moscow's police chief, Vladimir Pronin, told Russian television Yevsyukov had family problems.
