Doctors reported on the treatment of the woman injured in the shooting in Karabulak.
The postoperative condition of the resident of Karabulak, who was injured by a participant of a wedding convoy, has improved. Doctors are preparing her for discharge from the hospital.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on November 8, it became known that a local resident in Karabulak sustained a serious gunshot wound to the head and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
According to preliminary data from the police, the woman became an accidental victim of the shooting by a participant of the wedding convoy.
The woman is preparing for discharge from the Ingush Republican Clinical Hospital (IRKB) in Nazran, where she was taken with a gunshot wound to the head, allegedly received "as a result of shooting by participants of the wedding convoy," the medical institution reported late on November 13 in its Telegram channel.
Transferred from the intensive care unit to the neurosurgery department
"The patient was operated on by specialists from the IRKB. The doctors performed surgical treatment of the wound and prescribed necessary conservative treatment. Currently, the woman's condition is assessed as stable. She has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the neurosurgery department and is moving independently," the message states.
In the coming days, specialists plan to remove the stitches and prepare the patient for discharge. "Medical assistance has been provided in full. Doctors continue to monitor the patient's condition," the publication notes.
The police have not reported the detention of the shooter
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia, as of 11:57 Moscow time on November 14, has not published new information in its Telegram channel about the progress of the initiated investigation. The first and only message about it was published on November 8, the day after the incident.
"The police are establishing the identity of the shooter and all the circumstances of the incident," it states.
"Caucasian Knot" has repeatedly reported on shooting incidents at weddings in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. For example, in March 2023, a resident of Nalchik was punished for shooting at a wedding. In January of the same year, at the border of North Ossetia and Ingushetia, participants of the wedding convoy shot into the air near a police post, and the police did not attempt to stop them.
The ritual of shooting at a Caucasian wedding was considered a "protection against the evil eye," however, the ancient tradition has long turned into an element of fun and revelry, as noted by Caucasian studies experts interviewed by "Caucasian Knot" in 2018.
Shooting at Caucasian weddings is not a historical custom, although it is quite widespread, explained Dagestani scholar Magomedkhan Magomedkhanov earlier.
