A top crony of Russia’s Vladimir Putin has been shot inside his Moscow apartment building by a gunman posing as a food delivery driver.
Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev was on his way to work Friday morning when the attack occurred, with the unidentified assailant apparently lying in wait just inside the building’s entrance, according to local reports. After being shot multiple times, Alexeyev was hospitalized in serious condition, with Russia’s Kommersant newspaper reporting his “vital organs” were struck by a bullet.
Russian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the attempted murder.
