Assassination attempt on Spyker owner Alexander Antonov

[Redlyne_mr2]

Reuters is reporting that Alexander Antonov, the owner of flamboyant Dutch supercar company Spyker, has been seriously wounded in an apparent assassination attempt while leaving his Moscow residence. The Russian billionaire, who is also the chairman of the board of the Konvers Group (a banking concern), was shot along with a bodyguard.

According to the news agency, Antonov has survived the attack and his injuries have been identified as non life-threatening, although he remains in intensive care after being shot five times in the stomach and losing a finger to another bullet. The security guard, shot in the leg, is also in intensive care but is expected to survive.

Moscow police are now investigating the crime, and though they have yet to make any arrests, they apparently suspect that the shooting is related to Antonov's business dealings.

Haha I'd feel so fucking shitty if I shot a dude 5 times, blew his finger off, and shot his body guard and NOBODY died. How much can you fuck something up?

[Shunsui]

Loool imagine the world took a lesson from Chris Rock, and Charged $10,000 per bullet, then I bet no one will fuck up a hit like that again.

This is why the POS 7.62x25 is obsolete.
Fucking guy was probably using a Tokarev, and planning to make his escape in a Lada. Doomed from the start...

[berbatov]

There won't be any proof. At best there will be a dead body of an unknown man found in a forest.

I believe he is talking about the Assassin when he says "he's dead".
