city of Kazan, sending students running out of the building as smoke poured from its windows. At least nine people were killed — seven eighth-grade students, a teacher and another school worker — and 21 others were hospitalised, Russian officials said.
Officials said the attacker has been arrested and police opened a criminal investigation into the shooting. Authorities immediately put additional security measures into place in all schools in Kazan, a city 700km east of Moscow. According to Tatarstan health officials, 21 people were hospitalised with wounds after the attack, including 18 children, six of whom were in "severely grave condition."
Russian lawmaker Alexander Khinshtein said on Telegram the suspect received his gun license less than two weeks ago and the school didn't have any security aside from a panic button.
