Ukraine police chief resigns after officers allegedly fled deadly shooting
The police chief of a Ukrainian city has resigned following an incident where officers are accused of fleeing a deadly shooting, leaving behind their colleague who was killed. The event took place in the city of Mykolaiv on Friday evening.
According to reports, a group of officers were patrolling the streets when they encountered a violent altercation involving armed individuals. In the chaos that ensued, one officer was shot and fatally wounded. Instead of staying to assist their comrade, several officers allegedly fled the scene, leaving him behind.
The resignation of the police chief came after widespread criticism of the police force’s response to the incident. The mayor of Mykolaiv condemned the actions of the officers who abandoned their colleague, calling it unacceptable and shameful.
