"A quarrel occurred yesterday between a group of traffic police officers on duty and officers of the Counter-Terrorist Centre in Grozny's Staropromyslovskii district. The CTC officers wounded one policeman by shooting a submachine gun at him and cruelly beat his colleagues. Besides, they took away the duty weapons of the police officers: two handguns and four submachine guns," a source with the Internal Affairs Ministry told Caucasian Knot.
