A little later, after locking himself in the house of his ex-partner, the man committed suicide – “Aro” officers persuaded him to surrender for several hours, but the efforts were unsuccessful.
Just a few days ago, on July 25, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania issued a warrant for the search for this man – being convicted of a serious crime and serving a real prison sentence, he was hiding from police officers.
On Monday, he visited the house of his former 43-year-old partner in the village of Karapoli.
Another man, a 46-year-old resident of the local area, had come to visit there.
All three of them had a drinking party.
The fugitive, who had a sharp and aggressive temper, was armed – he had an illegal 16-caliber hunting rifle loaded with bullets.
In the afternoon, after the conflict broke out at around half past three, the shooter went out into the yard and started shooting in the air, threatening to kill both of the recruits.
Lina Banienė, chief specialist of the Communications sub-department of the Tauragė County Chief Police Commissariat, informed the news portal lrytas.lt that the latter managed to move away from the property.
The woman called for help. Police officers brought the people who drank alcohol together with the shooter to the police station, where they told what happened.
The armed man stayed in the house of his ex-partner, the reinforced forces of Tauragė AVPK immediately left for this address, Aras was also called.
An intoxicated man fired a series of shots at the officers, hitting their VW Caddy squad car, but luckily no one was injured.
The “Aro” men who came from Klaipėda spent several hours negotiating with the man locked in a strange house, persuading him to surrender and not to cause more trouble for himself or those around him.
However, the shooter did not talk – when the evening came, a shot rang out inside.
Officers found the body of a dead man in the house.
Currently, a criminal case has been opened for attempted murder of officers and illegal possession of a weapon.
True, the investigation will probably have to be stopped because the culprit is dead.
According to portal lrytas.lt, the man, well known to the police for his previous crimes, did not officially work anywhere.
“I didn’t know that man personally, but there were bad rumors about him. We got the impression that he was a real terror of the village,” Birutė Kaminskienė, elder of the Elderly Center of Mažonai Eldership Center, told lrytas.lt portal.
In July, this is already the third similar terrible case: in the village of Kunigiškiu (Tauragė district), a 48-year-old man allegedly shot his 40-year-old wife and killed himself, and in the Skuoda district, a 55-year-old man fired a fatal shot at his 44-year-old ex-girlfriend.
