UFC's Valentina Shevchenko explains how shooting went down in first official statement

After getting involved in a shootout in Peru on Sunday, Valentina Shevchenko opened up on social media.

UFC women's bantamweight contender Valentina Shevchenko and her coach Pavel Fedotov getting involved in a shootout has been one of the more shocking news of late.

Both were eating out at a chicken restaurant in Peru on Sunday, when a gang of robbers stormed in and started assaulting and stealing from the customers. Fedotov immediately opened fire on the robbers and killed one of them, but got hit by a bullet himself (you can see security-camera footage of the shooting here).
