MUSHROOM USE CITED IN 8 SOLDIERS' SLAYINGS

A Russian soldier apparently under the influence of narcotics opened fire 
on fellow servicemen, killing at least eight and wounding three others, the 
military said. Denis Solovyov fired at a tent as his 11 comrades were 
resting along the border with Georgia in the Caucasus Mountains, the 
military said.

Officials said Solovyov may have eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms, which grow 
in the area.
