When ordered to halt, one of the Russians opened the door and fired. “American police, searching for the occupants of the jeep, shot a Russian soldier, who was sent to hospital. One Russian was detained. “The shooting followed weeks of unrest among Allied troops. A fight developed among Russians. British, and French a few days ago.”
