The incident took place on a national road through Gâlgău, Salaj County. A young man took a gun and fired several times to the minibus.

Only after the vehicle was stopped and passengers arrested, was the truth revealed. According to officers from Sălaj, at a given moment on DN 1C road, the traffic was chaos, after passengers of the car, registered in Bistrița, threw toward the minibus petards and shot from a gas gun.
The three passengers were indicted for committing the smuggling crime because they introduced a gas pistol and 50 bullets in Romania and the non-observance of the weapons and ammunition regime.
In addition, the young man who started gunfire was indicted for the use of the weapon. The three are under judicial scrutiny for a period of 60 days.
