Russian hockey player is shot at

Alexander Pavlinich, who plays for the Russian hockey club Torlar, was hospitalized on Monday.

The young player was escorting his girlfriend home, after Torlar’s regular game, but an argument started on the way with a passerby. As a result, the hooligan fired at Pavlinich with a traumatic weapon and, subsequently, the young hockey player was transferred to hospital by an ambulance.     

The person who had fired at Pavlinich was detained sometime thereafter.

But the doctors have not yet informed as to when the hockey player will recover. Alexander Pavlinich had sustained a chest wound, Gazeta.ru reports.
