...
Russia’s
Sverdlovsk region is mourning the victims of the recent
tragedy, which took place on March 21 in the night club of
the town of Pervouralsk. Three young women and a 30-year-old
man were killed in stampede near the entrance
door
of the club.
The funeral
service was held near the apartment buildings, in which the
three women (tenth-graders) and the man lived. Young people
bring bouquets of flowers and candles to Kapella night club,
where the incident happened. All entertaining events in the
region have been canceled in connection with mourning.
Deputy
Prosecutor General of Russia’s Ural region ordered all
regional departments of the Interior Ministry to take all
adequate measures to guarantee security during all public
events of the region.
Three teenage
schoolgirls were killed in stampede at the entrance door to
Hollywood discotheque at the local entertainment center,
Kapella. A 30-year-old security guard of the club was killed
as he tried to save the three teenage girls after they had
fallen down on the floor in the crowd. Stampede occurred
after the administration of the club decided to cancel the
entrance fee during the first 30 minutes. Eight other people
were injured in the incident too.
