A TRAFFIC police officer fired shots when pedestrians in the Czech city of Plzen ignored his warnings not to cross a street illegally, a newspaper has reported.
"A male police officer fired shots with his police pistol on Monday but I cannot say more as the case is currently being investigated," Altmannova said, declining to give further details.
According to Czech daily Pravo the police officer began shooting in the air with his pistol when pedestrians ignored his calls not to cross the street until the pedestrian light was green on Monday afternoon.
One of the shots hit the side of a passing car but no one was injured.
