In a statement, the Armenian Interior Ministry said the suspect -- whose name was only given as Gor A. -- was arrested Sunday, May 18.

The statement said the suspect turned in a Makarov pistol he said he had used.

The Saturday shooting near Vernissage open-air market left 5 injured. Norayr Harutyunyan and Valery Hovhannisyan, both aged 30; Myasnik Hayrapetyan, 26; Albina Badalyan 64 and Mnatsakan Sukiasyan 72, underwent surgeries in the Yerevan’s Heratsi Hospital No. 1 and their lives are not threatened.
