Charges: Man Pointed AK-47 At Daughter Over Grades

[sasha031]

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – A 51-year-old St. Paul man is accused of pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at his daughter after the two argued about her grades in school, according to charges filed Friday in Ramsey County Court.

Kirill Bartashevitch was charged with two felony counts of terroristic threats in connection with the Jan. 13 incident.

According to the complaint, St. Paul Police responded to St. Paul Central High School on Jan. 17 after a report of an assault against a 15-year-old female student. A social worker at the school had received a report from a parent who had been monitoring her son’s electronic communications. The communications showed that Bartashevitch had sent the son a message that he had pointed an AK-47 rifle at the girl.
The complaint states that the girl and Bartashevitch were arguing at their residence on Jan. 13 about her grades in school. She was getting two Bs in school instead of two As. He swore at the girl, who then told him she hated him, and he grabbed a recently purchased AK-47 and pointed it at her.

According to the complaint, he bought the rifle because he knew it would soon be banned. The girl’s mother jumped between them when he pointed the gun, and the girl was eventually ordered to go to her room by Bartashevitch.

The girl’s mother told police that when she intervened, Bartasevitch threw her to the floor and that he pointed the gun at both of them, the complaint states.

1. I sure hope they take that rifle from him. Of course he'll blame Obama for it.

3. For him it will soon be banned

If he threatens to shoot his children over B's, what does he do for C's? And why do I get the feeling there's constant abuse in that home?

10. The kids that had the temerity to get Cs are probably buried in the basement.

yup

6. Well that is assault. And child abuse.

Must take a big man to threaten a 15 year old girl with a gun. At the least he should leave the house under a restraining order. And if the wife is not willing to file for a restraining order protective services should remove the child from the home.

7. Before the cutesy remarks get all out of hand...

...this AK-47 owner wants to know if the guy is still behind bars, and whether or not he has any bail.

That said, I don't think this man will be allowed anywhere near anything looking like a gun for a loooooooong time.

Daughter and mom sure need to learn not to provoke him, though.
