“I started approaching Crocus Hall, I was a five-minute walk from the entrance. I heard the sounds of shots, saw people running, shouting “shooting, shooting.” I turned around and also walked in the opposite direction from Crocus Hall,” he said.
According to Petrov, he could have been inside with the others, but was late for the concert.
“It’s hard for me to perceive this as a second birthday, after all, I was far from the place where everything happened. But I heard the sounds of shooting clearly,” he added.
Earlier, eyewitnesses spoke about the start of shooting at Crocus before the concert of the Picnic group. After the shooting began, many managed to go outside through the stage and then through the technical gate.
According to preliminary data from an RT source, which will still be clarified, as a result of the shooting at Crocus City Hall, 20 people were killed and 50 were wounded.
