Allegedly after beating him up Bulavinov took out a gun and shot him.

Reportedly when Sidorov saw the gun he tried to run but was shot before he could get anywhere.

The wife of the wounded security guard Irina Sidorova spoke to Russian newspaper NTV and said: “He walked around the territory with his pistol for another half an hour, and kept everyone at gunpoint. He said: ”if I don’t kill them, then I’ll jail them.” He has power and money. He said: “I will buy the whole area and I will buy the whole region.””

According to Irina, her husband’s colleague Matveev was reportedly tied up and forced to watch the whole scene.
