MOSCOW - An irate driver shot dead a Moscow road worker and injured a
second after a wheel on his Mercedes car was damaged on a city street
early on Sunday, Interfax news agency reported.

Described by Moscow police as a short man in his late twenties, the
driver returned with a pistol and opened fire on the workmen just minutes
after they refused to compensate him for the damage the roadworks had
caused.

The dead man, aged 28, came from Georgia and had only started working for
the construction firm two days earlier.
