The capital was the scene of a gunshot that caused the decease of two persons and the injury of another six.

The attacker, according to the authorities, is an employee of the Ministry of Administration and Interior and the hairstylist’s husband, who opened the fire on the workers and the clients who were within the unit.

The criminologists displaced at the incident scene, and the first data indicate the fact that the man reacted from revenge.

The prosecutors from Bucharest have taken the incident investigation.

The general prosecutor of Romania, Laura Codruţa Kovesi, has designated his prime-adjunct Marius Iacob to coordinate the investigation.

The one who has shot in the hairdresser from the intersection of Calea Dorobanţi with Ştefan cel Mare Boulevard was caught by the authorities in the Transelectrica building, where a witness has seen him refuge.

The general prosecutor’s adjunct, Marius Iacob, declared Monday evening that the author of the attack from the hairdresser, with an age of 53 years, was arrested under the charges of qualified and very serious murder.

Moreover, Marius Iacob specified that between the police agent and his ex-wife were tensional relations, the two being into a divorce.

Also, Marius Iacob specified that the arm with which had been shot the fire was recovered; it was about a 9 mm caliber pistol.

"The principal suspect presented a gun permit from which results that he owned a gun", added Marius Iacob.
