> Russian media report that a 29-year-old man attacked worshippers at a church in Moscow’s Maryino district, threw rocks, and hit an ambulance paramedic in the head with a shovel. A passerby then shot him with a less-lethal pistol; he died and the passerby was detained. The paramedic remains in intensive care in serious condition.
