The police have detained nine people after a shooting at a parking lot near a residential compound in the south of Moscow, a Russian law enforcement source said.

"Overall, nine people have been detained including the wounded person, the involvement of each of them is being looked into," the source told TASS News.

The shooting took place on Sunday at the parking lot near the Yasny residential compound.

The participants fled the scene in several cars.

At least four of the detained persons are from Orenburg, a Russian city in the Urals.

According to the source, at least eight people were involved in the brawl. They shot at each other from non-lethal pistols and, presumably, shotguns.

One person was wounded in the shooting, Yulia Ivanova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Investigative Committee's Moscow city department, told TASS.
