Five suspects involved in the shootout are detained in Sochi, confirms today Alexander Runov, the head of the press service for the MIA's Chief Department for the Krasnodar Territory.
Today, a video fragment with a questioning of two detainees has been posted by the "Kuban News" on Instagram. The video shows two men who answer questions from a person behind the scene. When asked about the purpose of "arriving in the city of Sochi," one of the men answered: "To have a rest."
