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.

(30,252 posts)...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.
