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 sons 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 girls mother jumped between them when he pointed the gun, and the girl was eventually ordered to go to her room by Bartashevitch.
The girls 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.
On Jan. 24, police conducted a search warrant of his home and found 9mm ammunition and receipts for the purchases of two rifles.

I wish I could say this is unbelievable, but it's not. It's just the mentality of the perpetually paranoid and angry, who seem to be completely losing it over the idea of a less armed to the teeth society.
She got two B's then acted like a teenager; so since he's got his big gun he should threaten the lives of his daughter and wife. Not the finest specimen of humanity.

I think this will not be the last an incident happens like this, crazy to have an opportunity to pull their guns.

(31,849 posts)3. Pointing a gun at a kid over grades is crazy ...
but sending a note to a (presumably) high school kid bragging(?) about it is beyond crazy.
Why is a 51 year old communicating with a high school kid, anyway?
