Seven children are among the 13 victims killed by a gunman at a school in central Russia, authorities said.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement on Monday that 14 children and seven adults were also injured in the shooting in Izhevsk, west of the Ural Mountains in the Udmurtia region.
Governor Alexander Brechalov said: “There are victims among the children, there are wounded too.” The attacker later turned the gun on himself, Brechalov said.
Russia’s interior ministry confirmed the shooting on its Telegram feed.
The Investigative Committee identified the gunman as 34-year-old Artyom Kazantsev, a graduate of the same school.
The gunman wore a black t-shirt with “Nazi symbols”, the Committee added.
“Any shooting at a school is a cause for deep concern for authorities, families and the nation in general. We have seen that in the United States and many other countries,” said Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Vall, reporting from Moscow. “But Russians are saying this is not a frequent occurrence in Russia – and most of the time it is difficult to establish the motives behind it.”
Russia’s National Guard said Kazantsev used two non-lethal handguns adapted to fire real bullets. The guns were not registered with the authorities. A criminal probe into the incident has been launched on charges of multiple murder and illegal possession of firearms.
Hours before the school shooting, a man opened fire and wounded a military recruitment officer at an enlistment centre in Siberia.

i expected this to be a false flag operation.
They’ll find the gunman and send him to Ukraine.
I guess the Russians have been watching how these school shootings work so well for the Commie RATS here in this country. Get some maggot to shoot some of his classmates and the entire population of the United States bends over and drops their drawers for the Communist democrat party. This is the Russkis following the successes of the commie RATS in America. And it works!!!
Dead Russians. This should make some posters’ day.
This is what happens when you get a populace all wound up. Fake News and Dems do the same in US.
Weren’t the Russians trying to put together a “Dirty Dozen” like group for Ukraine? Well, here you go.
I wonder if the Neocons also have a hand in this, too. You know, to ‘Weaken Russia’.
I guess they were Russian "Ghost Guns". I think Russia has several, really, lots of laws against that sort of thing.
They work hard at enforcing them, as well.
Russian gun laws make New Jersey and New York's aversion to the Second Amendment pale in comparison.
It is the media contagion that results in mass murder, much more so than access to firearms.
The perp was wearing a shirt with a swastika on it and off’d himself. Looks like an addled nutball pushed over the edge by recent events.
So they'll claim he was a Ukranian "Nazi" sent by Zelenskyy himself.
No one likes dead children..
"Gun control" is idiotic. Bad people find ways to do bad things.
I have handled "prop guns" that look, feel, and operate like the real thing. They just can't actually chamber live ammunition. Until somebody drills out the chamber and barrel ...
I wouldn't count on them to last very long, though.
DemocRATs LOVE dead children. Dead children can be very useful to democRATs.
is that swat backward?
Have you checked with the democrap party?
