For reasons unknown Oleg Lokhmatov, a Russian draftee at a military facility in the Ural mountains, killed three fellow soldiers on guard duty with him and a civilian in a one night rampage.

At about 2 a.m. on January 11, 1997, Oleg killed his fellow guards, stole their ammunition and went to the nearby village of Oboryno, about 1,200 Km. east of Moscow. In Oboryno he entered a shop, killed a customer and wounded an employee.

A special operations team apprehended the rampaging private about two hours after the bloodshed.
