The father and son were alone in the room when the little man pointed the gun at the head of his 49-year-old father and fatally shot him.

The employee of the “Special Tactical Operations” department of the Plovdiv police Nikolay Filipov immediately fell to the ground in the building of the Special Police Forces in Plovdiv, which is next to the Reference Center.

Colleagues hear a scene. When they go, they see the child with a gun and his father shot to deaththe Home Minister also described the horror Kalin Stoyanovwho was in Plovdiv because of the serious accident that happened minutes before 5pm on Monday.

Foreigners should not be allowed in the Ministry of the Interior unit, and the boy had no right to be there, except the father

he assumed, perhaps there was no one to watch him

His wife, who is a police detective, and their other child were not in the building.

Before the fatal evening, Filipov, who his colleagues described as the best shooting instructor, had participated in an exercise. The boy was not with him, he was taken at the end of the working day. After the training, the policeman went back to the room where the lockers are with their personal belongings, and took his son with him.

How it came to be, the child took the gun and showed it to his father, only the little one knows.

The weapon had to be stored either in a holster or in a safe,

he pressed the interior minister Kalin Stoyanov.

From now on, there are many questions. How a 7-year-old child found himself in the construction of one of the special structural units of the regional directorate. As the firearm ended up in his handscontinued Stoyanov.

When asked if the service pistol was ready to fire, the minister replied that

there are weapons for more experienced police officers that lack safety

The investigators believe that there are two options – the father left his weapon unattended, the child took it and put it to his head, accidentally pulling the trigger.

The other version is that the father saw the gun in his son’s hands,

he tried to catch it and so ended up taking out a bullet accidentally.

Detailed answers will be sought with expertise assigned to the case.

Filipov’s colleagues, hearing the thunder, ran immediately and found the boy with a weapon in his hands, and his father dead on the ground. They took the gun from the child, who was very upset.

“The shock is huge, but obvious

the boy turns out to be an exceptional hunter

No wonder his father trained him”, said people close to the Ministry of Interior. However, they are sure that the weapon was not stored properly.

The interior minister asked four people to resign because of the unacceptable tragedy Kalin Stoyanov – the director of the police, Georgi Chergov, the head of the security police, the commissioner Kostadin Spasov, the head of the “Special tactical operations” department, Radoslav Nachev, and the head of the Special Police Forces, in which the deceased was an instructor , Ivan Elshishki.

These are the people directly responsible for the matterStoyanov is generic.

Immediately after the incident, the head of the MIA had a conversation with Georgi Chergov and asked him to resign. But after what he heard, he is sure that the other three must go too. Ivan Elshishki has already been suspended. The head of the security police, Kostadin Spasov, has also resigned. So far, the minister has not announced who will temporarily take over the Plovdiv directorate. It would be clear within 2 days.

I am not running from responsibility. This is a real incident with an employee of the Ministry of the InteriorGeorgi Chergov said. And he said that he would submit a request for reassignment in the system of the Ministry of the Interior.

For the child and his mother, who is our colleague and a very experienced worker, we have provided experts from the Institute of Psychology of the Ministry of the Interior to provide them with the necessary support. The experts will also talk to a large part of the police colleagues who were murderedhe added Kalin Stoyanov.
