The shootout at the Ministry of Defence
At about 3 pm on 11 August 2011 a lawyer armed with a pistol and explosive packages forced his way into the Ministry of Defence here at Sakala 1. Witnesses said he shouted that he would not shoot unarmed people. Security gates kept him in the lobby, the guard room and one ground-floor corridor, where for less than half an hour he held two members of the security team. He then spent about two hours alone in a personnel office. More than ten explosive devices went off in the building and the lobby filled with smoke. He was killed in a shootout with the police special unit. Nobody else was seriously hurt, and prosecutors found that he had acted alone.

11. augustil 2011 kella 15 paiku tungis püstoli ja lõhkepakettidega relvastatud jurist siin Sakala 1 asuvasse Kaitseministeeriumisse. Pealtnägijate sõnul hüüdis ta, et relvastamata inimesi ta ei tulista. Turvaväravad jätsid ta fuajeesse, valveruumi ja esimese korruse ühte koridori, kus ta hoidis alla poole tunni oma kontrolli all kahte turvameest. Seejärel veetis ta umbes kaks tundi üksi personaliosakonna ruumis. Hoones plahvatas üle kümne lõhkeseadeldise ja fuajee täitus suitsuga. Ta sai surma tulevahetuses politsei eriüksusega. Keegi teine raskelt viga ei saanud ja prokuratuuri hinnangul tegutses ta üksi.
