Then, the man tried to escape from the police in his car. During the pursuit on the highway Khasavyurt-Lvovskoe in the Babayurt District, the man opened fire at power agents and was killed by return fire. The object found under the door of the store turned out to be a bucket with an explosive. In the trunk of the slain man's car policemen also found a pistol and another explosive device. Both bombs were destroyed by explosive experts.
