In Ohio, the policeman fired at the photojournalist, confused with a weapon stand

A newspaper photographer from Ohio, USA, was shot dead by a local sheriff's deputy, who apparently confused the camera and gun with a tripod.

Andy Grimm worked as a photographer in the New Carlisle News and went out to make a photo of a zipper, writes the edition.

It is noted that the policeman in no way warned that he would open the fire.

The photographer's father says that the son called him on the way to the hospital from the fast carriage. It is expected that he will recover.

The shootings are being investigated, while the sheriff's office does not answer the emails from journalists.

Earlier it was reported that the police detained a teenager who was shooting at a school in Ivanteevka near Moscow.
