A MOSCOW district police chief opened fire in a street and in a supermarket early yesterday, killing three people and wounding seven others - four of them critically, Russian investigators said.

Police Major Denis Yevsyukov, who heads a southern Moscow police department, opened fire just after midnight and was detained after killing a driver, a supermarket cashier and customer, federal investigators said.

Yevsyukov, whose wife had recently left him, finished his late shift on Sunday and hitched a ride to the supermarket, Moscow police chief Vladimir Pronin told Russian television. Yevsyukov was in civilian clothes, with one part of his uniform slung around his shoulders, Pronin said.

Yevsyukov shot the driver of the car with a gun that Russian news agencies reported was unlicensed. Yevsyukov then entered a supermarket and killed a cashier and a customer before shooting at least seven others, authorities said.

Russian news agency Interfax reported that four people were hospitalized with head injuries. They were aged between 19 and 23.
