An Afghan migrant was shot by Bulgarian border guards trying to cross into the country from Turkey and died on his way to hospital, the interior ministry said.
...Public BNR radio cited the interior ministry's chief of staff Georgy Kostov as saying that the group of 50 illegal migrants -- all from Afghanistan -- was intercepted by a patrol of two border guards and a police officer after crossing into Bulgarian territory.
"They put up resistance during the arrest. One of the officers fired warning shots and, in his words, one of the migrants was wounded by a ricochet and later died," Kostov told the radio.
Nice ricochet these Bulgarians have. Well, at least, it wasn't an umbrella. |
