A gunman killed 13 people, including seven children, and wounded 21 other people in a school in central Russia on Monday, authorities said.
Russia's Investigative Committee said the shooting took place in a school in Izhevsk, a city about 960 kilometres east of Moscow in the Udmurtia region. Those wounded were 14 children and 7 adults, the Committee said.
The governor of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov, said in a video statement that the still unidentified gunman shot himself. The school educates children between grades 1 and 11. It has been evacuated and the area around it has been cordoned off, the governor said. According to the Investigative Committee, the gunman wore a black T-shirt with "Nazi symbols." No other details about the shooter or his motives have been released.
