Two in custody after yesterday’s shooting in Kumanovo

-

Two persons have been taken into custody and several other called to give statements regarding the shooting yesterday in the coffee bar Shpija Jon in the Kumanovo neighborhood Bedinje.

The report from the Kumanovo police department says there had been a verbal altercation in the café prior to the shooting. One person was killed and two were injured.

The police says they can’t confirm whether both of the groups that were involved in the shooting had carried weapons or whether the shooting was done in self-defense. The investigation is ongoing, they say from the department, and they will release new details as they emerge.

From the Prosecutor’s office they say their officer from the Kumanovo jurisdiction had carried out an analysis at the crime scene.
“Due to the probable cause that the act was carried out by the two persons in custody, they will be kept until further notice. The weapon that was used in the shooting was found in their possession. The prosecutor had ordered a forensic analysis, a test to confirm the handling of the weapon and video footage from the area,” says in the Prosecutor’s announcement.

A the same time, the news portal „Kumanovski Muabeti“ reports on news coming from Lajmpres and AlsatM, which state that Bajram Limani, who is the deputy director of the municipal branch of DUI in Kumanovo, was at his job when the group of the killed [NLA] commandant Shkiponja, was involved in a physical altercation with the suspect.

“We were attacked with chairs and fists… We were forced to defend our dignity so we took out our weapons to scare them away. My companion shot in the air to fend them off but they didn’t give up. He was attacked by three people and I was attacked by three or four. During that fight it could be possible that someone was shot with a gun. We didn’t do anything intentional. We don’t know what happened because in the few minutes the fight was going on we left the place. The event is caught on camera, so the authorities and the public in Macedonia and outside can conclude what went on. I am sorry for what happened. We feel this is our week spot, but believe us, we were attacked on the job,” claims Limani.

DUI expressed regret for the armed incident and called the authorities to solve the case in its entirety.
