As the perpetrator was being escorted by officials at Chisinau International Airport on Friday, the individual “took the gun of a border guard” and fatally wounded the two people, authorities said. The individual was then neutralized and handcuffed by the special forces who intervened. All passengers have been evacuated from the airport.
