The Mikenskaya shooting was a mass murder committed during the Second Chechen War, where at least 34 Russian inhabitants of the village Mikenskaya were killed by Achmed Ibragimov, a Chechen, on 8 October 1999. Ibragimov escaped the village but was captured two days later and handed over to relatives of his victims, who publicly lynched him in the village square. The attack resulted in the majority of ethnic Russian families in Mikenskaya leaving the village. It was the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in Russia's modern history.
