Cabin fever? Five shot dead in Russia for 'talking loudly'

A man in Russia has shot dead five people for talking loudly outside his house late in the evening.

Police said the shooting happened in the village of Yelatma, in the Ryazan region about 200km (124 miles) south-east of Moscow.

The area is currently under lockdown due to the coronavirus.

Investigators say the man initially complained to the group from his balcony, and an argument broke out. He then opened fire with a hunting rifle.

Russia has an alcohol-problem already. So, what are you going to do when you are bored and there is even less to do than usual?
