Russian investigators at classroom in school in Izhevsk where mass shooting took place
A gunman with a swastika on his T-shirt killed 15 people, including 11 children, and wounded 24 others before killing himself at a school in a city in central Russia that he once attended, according to Russia’s national Investigative Committee. .
Reuters reported:
The attacker, a man in his early thirties who was named by authorities as Artyom Kazantsev, killed two security guards and then opened fire on students and teachers at School Number 88 in Izhevsk, where he had once been a pupil. Russia's Investigative Committee, which handles major crimes, said it was looking into the perpetrator's suspected neo-Nazi links. "Currently investigators...are conducting a search of his residence and studying the personality of the attacker, his views and surrounding milieu," the committee said in a statement. "Checks are being made into his adherence to neo-fascist views and Nazi ideology."I
Izhevsk, a city of 640,000, s located 600 miles east of Moscow in the Udmurtia region. School No. 88 has students from grades 1 through 11. Russia’s Investigative Committee said the gunman was wearing a black T-shirt bearing “Nazi symbols,” The Washington Post reported. No details about his motives have been released. But so far no one has suggested any link between the school shooting and the war in Ukraine. Kazantsev had been treated at a mental hospital, Alexander Brechalov, head of the Udmurt Region, told reporters on Monday, according to the official TASS news agency. A subsequent TASS report said the gunman had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. "Artyom Kazantsev, who opened fire at a school in Izhevsk, was earlier diagnosed with schizophrenia," Russian Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov said, as follows from a post uploaded to the Education Ministry’s Telegram channel. x x YouTube Video
