The Draučiai shooting was a shooting spree that occurred in Draučiai, a small village in the Širvintos District Municipality, Lithuania on February 15, 1998, when 58-year-old Leonardas Zavistonovičius, a local, killed nine people and wounded another, before being beaten to death.〔(Lithuanian Gunman Goes on Killing Spree ), ''The Washington Post'' (February 17, 1998)〕〔(Lithuanian massacre ), ''The Moscow Times'' (February 17, 1998)〕 ==Shooting== At approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, Zavistonovičius armed himself with a Russian hunting rifle IZH-12 and a Czech carbine ZKK-601 with telescopic sight〔 – both weapons were held legally with permit renewed less than a year prior to the incident.〔 Within the next half-hour, he went to four houses where he killed nine of his neighbours and their relatives, all of them with single shots to the head or chest.〔 Zavistonovičius first went to the most distant farm from his house. Its owner, Jonas Bareikas, was shot and killed in his bed. He also shot Bareikas' partner Marytė Rutkauskienė who at the time was making broom stalls.〔 Afterwards, he approached Bareikas' neighbour Leonas Garbatavičius, whom he shot dead at the front door of his house. His next stop was at the Vrubliauskas farm, where he killed Vytautas Vrubliauskas and wounded his mother Jadvyga and sister Zofija. Zofija Vrubliauskaitė, who lived in Širvintos and came to visit the family on the weekend, died the same night in Širvintos hospital while undergoing surgery. Jadvyga Vrubliauskienė died a week later in Vilnius Red Cross Hospital.〔 The perpetrator then moved to Raudeliūnas' home, which was closest to his own house. The next victims were Vanda Raudeliūnienė and her visiting daughter Dalia Kalibatienė, who was a senior lieutenant with the Ministry of National Defence. The Kalibaitis family lived in Salininkai near Vilnius and were visiting the family. Zavistonovičius also killed a dog which attempted to defend the women.〔(Buvo kaimas – ir kaimo nėra... ), ''balsas.lt'', April 27, 2010〕 He fetched a mattress from his own house so he would not have to lay down on cold winter ground and took cover to ambush Antanas Raudeliūnas, his son-in-law Mindaugas Kalibatas, and his grandsons Vilius and Tadas. The men were gathering wood in a nearby forest. They heard the shots but were not immediately concerned as they thought it was hunters who frequented the forests.〔 When the four men came out of the woods, Zavistonovičius first shot Mindaugas Kalibatas in the chest, but the bullet grazed, ripping a piece of flesh but not causing more serious internal damage. The perpetrator then shot Vilius as he ran to help his father. When the gunman approached them, Kalibatas and his other son Tadas attacked him, grabbed his rifles and beat him until he collapsed.〔 Since no one in the village had phones, Mindaugas Kalibatas drove himself and his son Vilius to hospital in Širvintos located about away; however, Vilius died ''en route'',〔 The hospital alerted the police and sent ambulances to the village. Zofija Vrubliauskaitė and Jadvyga Vrubliauskienė were found still alive. Zavistonovičius was taken in custody and died around 10 p.m. in hospital (cause of death: fracture in base of skull).〔 Only two inhabitants of the village were left alive, Antanas Raudeliūnas and Zavistonovičius' mother Juzefa.〔Knispelis, Egidijus.
