Despite shooting blanks spectators appear fearful, and one child was taken to hospital with a head injury<\/p>\n<p>The boy was reportedly injured after being hit by a projectile from one of the weapons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was taken to hospital along with a 54-year-old woman who reportedly sustained a &#8216;serious facial injury&#8217;.\u00a0She required surgery and cannot eat or speak, reported Moskovsky Komsomolets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She had two teeth knocked out, her cheek was damaged, and the patient had to undergo emergency surgery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Now the woman&#8217;s life is out of danger, but temporarily she cannot eat or even talk.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>One local account on VK social media said: &#8216;During demonstration performances, the elite units decided to play &#8216;a little joke&#8217; and began to shoot the audience, including children sitting on the podium, with blank cartridges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The children were very scared. They clutched their heads screaming, fell to the ground, crawled under the benches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One boy received head injuries from a bounced cartridge case.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel published the video this weekend showing the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;During demonstration performances, the fighters of the Russian Guard decided&#8230;to shoot spectators with children (fortunately, with blank cartridges). Small children screamed clutching their heads and fell to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/22\/10\/74588071-12431953-image-a-21_1692696931842.jpg\" height=\"1127\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Before the mock execution\u00a0the crowd appear engaged and excited to watch soldiers perform acrobatic style moves<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There were injuries. Serious damage from a bounced cartridge case,&#8217; the channel said, according to\u00a0Newsweek.<\/p>\n<p>Before the &#8216;mock execution&#8217;, the crowd appear engaged and excited to watch soldiers perform acrobatic style moves including a pyramid stunt while others light flares depicting the Russian flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the sports competition event quickly turns sour when a pack of soldiers crouch down and appear to take aim directly at the unsuspecting crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Before the start of the competition the servicemen organised demonstration performances &#8211; [with] elements of hand-to-hand combat, and breaking bricks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Kalashnikov rifles were also used, which were loaded with blank cartridges.\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One group of Guardsmen was chasing another group, which was shooting back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is when the tragic ricochet occurred, although it is not yet completely clear how this could have happened. The blank cartridges flew off into the stands.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>At least one federal newspaper has withdrawn its report on the fiasco suggesting an official bid to cover up the humiliating blunder by Putin&#8217;s elite forces.<\/p>\n<p>The national guard is headed by close Putin crony General Viktor Zolotov, 69. He is an army general who was once Putin&#8217;s leading bodyguard. He is seen as perhaps Putin&#8217;s most loyal henchman.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation has since been launched into the incident by Russia&#8217;s Investigative Committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12431953\/Russian-soldiers-gun-audience-children-using-blank-firing-weapons.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple people are injured when elite Russian soldiers \u2018machine-gun\u2019 audience packed with children using blank-firing weapons, causing mass panic during<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Multiple people are injured when elite Russian soldiers &amp;apos;gun&amp;apos;
