A man who fired shots at a pair of Moscow Police Officers died in a hospital on Friday from the injuries he sustained after the police returned fire, officials said.

The police identified the man as Rinat Kunashev, originally from the North Caucasus.

They said he fired 10 shots with a pneumatic weapon at two officers providing security for the Chilean embassy at around 7:50 pm on Thursday (1650 GMT), wounding one in the left hip.

The officers fired six shots back, hitting him in the head and was immediately taken to the hospital. No motive for the attack could be discerned.

The attack drew extra attention because of its proximity to the Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
