Tsvetan Yomov, the father of the CSKA-Sofia football player Georgi Yomov, and his younger son handed over the legally owned weapon, which was shot during the incident on the Ring Road in Sofia last night.

The shots were fired with stop cartridges, but caused injuries because they were fired at close range, BNT reported, citing information from its sources.

Tsvetan Yomov, who is the father of the football player Georgi Yomov, as well as the brother of the athlete, appeared in the police today.

The two were wanted in connection with last night's shooting.

Two people were injured in the shooting, one in both legs and the other in the thigh.

Georgi Yomov's father and brother turned themselves in to police

All morning the police carried out seizures and searches of the footballer's home.

He told investigators that there was a conflict between his brother and a group of strangers at the gas station.

His brother later called their father, and when he arrived he fired two shots at two people.

The shot were 26-year-old Mario Valchev and 36-year-old Ivan Petrov. 

Pre-trial proceedings have been instituted in the case.

It is expected to become clear whether the prosecutor's office will charge the footballer.

For now, the football club declined to comment.
