THIS is the moment a former international football star appears to be shot at by his ex-wife’s mother.

He alleges that the woman in question was the mother of his ex-wife, Lyubov Pavlovna.

In the post, Shovkovskiy says he went to collect his daughter he fathered with Olga Alenova.

The two divorced in October 2015.

However neither mother or daughter were at the property, and after several minutes knocking at the door, Shovkovskiy moved to make his way back to the car, from where the incident was being filmed.

Then a door swings open from a balcony above where the ex-footballer was stood, and a woman shouts at him to leave the property.

She then appears to throw objects at Shovkovskiy as well as at the person filming the action unfold from the gate.

Shovkovskiy begins to walk towards the gate, but the woman re-appears on the balcony after going back inside.

She continues to shout at Shovkovskiy, before it appears she loads up some kind of pistol and fires it.

Shovkovskiy gets out his phone and walks towards the gate before the woman on the balcony shoots again.

As he opens the gate to leave the property another shot rings out.

Alongside the posting of two videos on Facebook, Shovkovskiy wrote: “First, Lyubov Pavlovna aimed at my head and threw stones she had collected, from the balcony.

“And then she started shooting at me with a pistol.
