At least three people were killed today (May 14, 2016) when a mass brawl involving hundreds of people erupted at a Moscow cemetery, according to the Guardian website.
Some 23 people have been taken a hospital, four of them in serious condition. Police made more than 90 arrests.
Two of those killed were hit by a car driven by someone leaving the scene, according to Moscow police spokeswoman Sofia Khotina. She said the three people in the car -- who were armed with guns -- were among those detained by police.
Reports said the fight at the Khovanskoye cemetery -- in the southwest of Moscow -- involved 200 immigrants from former Soviet nations in central Asia and Muslim residents of Russia's volatile North Caucasus region, who are seeking jobs at the cemetery.
