This sounds like a Phoenix Wright case or something.

Became known cause of the shooting MMA fighter Shamhalaeva: "Shoot, if a man '

On the eve of national champion in Thai boxing came into conflict with offenders, they appointed him the "arrow"

In Makhachkala, June 1 there was a loud incident in the restaurant "Peter" there was a shootout, in the midst of which turned out to be a fighter and mixed martial champion of Russia in Thai boxing Shahbulat Shamhalaev. At the moment, he is in intensive care (we will publish a photo from there), doctors note positive dynamics. We learned the details of the incident from a close friend Shakhbulatov, who wished to remain anonymous.

"I corresponded with his brother Shakhbulatov. The whole story began the day before the shootout. May 31 Shakhbulatov dragged into any conversation into an argument. Word for word, and eventually hit Shamhalaeva. He went to her abuser and wanted to respond, but they pulled out a gun and started shooting at the ground. Then he pointed the gun at his head and said: "Do not show off, and then kill." Shakhbulatov said, "Shoot, if a man." In this they differed - "scoring arrow" on the 1st of June.

Shakhbulatov took a "Saiga" and a gun and went to the place of a showdown. They were waiting for him. I do not know why he went there alone ?! Apparently, the evil really was on emotions ... In general, was shot 13 times in it. At the hospital, he was pulled out of six bullets. They shot into the body and legs, and one bullet grazed his head on a tangent.

The doctors said that luck would not hurt the vital organs, even the bones were not included. Yes, he had to remove a kidney, but he survived. Now he made the shots, so as not to wake up. Doctors noted a positive trend, it is now in a stable condition.

He has never been to someone obviously in conflict. It's just a one-time event. He was a peace-loving man, but if it hurt, then he walked to the end. First never did not start ", - said one Shakhbulatov Shamhalaeva.

Appears Shabulat's altercation was with a corrupt prosecutor in Makhachkala. Was struck by his guard. Arrived next day armed but outnumbered

Shahbulat's brother: The conflict was purely domestic nature


Condition of wounded soldiers has improved
June 2, 2016


Translated from: http://ndelo.ru/news/novosti/2499/

Status Shakhbulatov Shamhalaeva, wounded yesterday in Makhachkala, doctors assessed as serious but stable, it is already disconnected from the ventilator. On this and the reasons for the incident the correspondent of "ND" said brother wounded fighters Bellator Shahmurad Shamhalaev. 

According to the source, his brother on May 31 there was a small conflict. 

"A friend called him to the cafe to sit and drink tea, saying nothing about the fact that they are not alone. When Shakhbulatov walked into a cafe, then a table with his friends were two other guys. It turned. What is a conflict between them. It intervened Shakhbulatov. One of the men asked him not to interfere in the conversation. Began bickering, they switched to the person ", - said Shamhalaev. 

"On that day, they like everything settled and dispersed peacefully. The next day, he was invited to another restaurant where reconciliation should have taken place. Unfortunately, it ended up that everybody knows. How and why this happened, we learn only when Shakhbulatov wake up and tell myself everything "- said the brother of the wounded.

Status Shakhbulatov Shamhalaeva doctors assessed as serious but stable. According to them, none of the vital body does not hurt. 

"Shakhbulatov condition improved significantly. He has already been disconnected from the ventilator, he can breathe himself. But talk to him even doctors are not allowed. They give him pain medication and sleeping pills ", - said the source.

According to him, his brother got 13 bullets.

"The doctors removed two bullets from the fighting toe. The remaining eleven wounds to the torso and head, had suffered from in trauma, "- he said.

However, he said that a kidney to his brother no one deleted.

"Around this story with Shakhbulatov walks a lot of rumors. And much of this fiction. The conflict was purely domestic nature. It is not associated with the opposition of some political or other groups in the country ", - he said.


Seems like conflicting reports are coming up. Karim Zidan is reporting that the guard who shot Sha is in a "wanted list" in Dagestan and that there was a conflict with a corrupt prosecutor. However, Shahbulat's brother says that it was purely domestic. Plus, he says that his brother's kidney was not removed.
