Chilling Moment dancer is gunned down in a Moscow street

This is the harrowing moment when a dancer was shot twice in the chest by a masked assassin outside her block of flats in Russia.

30-year-old Natalia Pronina from Moscow was shot dead at close range by a hooded and masked man while returning from a choreography session to her home near the Akademicheskaya metro station.

The terrifying CCTV footage shows Ms. Pronina entering her apartment before the masked assassin sneaks behind her and shoots her twice in the chest.

The attacker reportedly fired a stun grenade to divert attention from the shooting before dropping the gun and escaping.

Police sources have reportedly indicated that the footage has not yet helped track down the shooter who may have been a hit man who was ordered to murder her.

One theory is that the former nightclub dancer reportedly had an affair with one “Wealthy” politician, but that his wife had become aware of the relationship.
