The spree started around 9:30 am local time , sparking panic among students and teachers at the School No. 175 in Kazan, the capital of the predominantly Muslim Russian republic of Tatarstan. “The president gave an order to urgently work out a new provision concerning the types of weapons that can be in civilian hands, taking into account the weapon” used in the attack, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.Images broadcast on state television showed dozens of people outside the school with fire services and police vehicles lining nearby streets and law enforcement carrying automatic weapons patrolling the area.

There were initial reports of two shooters, with one reportedly barricaded on the fourth floor of the building and killed, but officials later said a lone attacker was responsible. Officials ordered a minute of silence at football matches later Tuesday and both cabinet and parliament meetings honoured the victims.“Parents were running around, looking for their children,” Andrei Stepanov, a cash-in-transit guard who lives close to the school, told AFP.“We are in shock,” says Maria Mashkova, a 33-year-old hospital receptionist. “We didn’t expect that this would happen to us.”

Why did he do it? Was he feeling aggrieved by something. I hope all recover from this incident. Through the precious blood of Jesus heal all who were victims of the shooting. Amen.
