The young man allegedly threatened his mother with a machete, who was defended by another son. According to the Prime Minister, the cause of the quarrel was the teenager’s reluctance to go to school.

Two firearms were found in the house. According to the report, the items were given by the teen’s father, who said he had had the weapon for many years.

40- and 36-caliber rifles were seized, one of which had a blank number. In addition to 15 cartridges, of which 14 were fired, 32 fuses and approximately 1 kg of gunpowder.

Those involved were taken to the police station. The case must be investigated, as well as the origin of the weapon.
