A Russian city has been plunged into lockdown as cops hunt a "deserter" gunman draped in camouflage who opened fire on their fellow officers.
An unidentified suspect fired an automatic weapon at a group of cops in Novoshakhtinsk in Russia's western Rostov region, according to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The wounded policeman has been identified as 27-year-old Roman Biryukov. The married officer’s life is not in danger, said reports.
