Russia’s state Investigative Committee said that a student killed a fellow student and wounded three more in a shooting on Thursday at a college in Russia before taking his own life.
The 19-year-old shooter brought a hunting rifle to class in Blagoveshchensk near the border with China and opened fire on students, killing one and severely injuring three more.
It wasn’t immediately clear what prompted the attack. The attacker shot himself soon after the police arrived.
The college was evacuated and classes suspended. Two injured students underwent surgery in a local hospital, and one of them remained in critical condition.
Investigation into the shooting is underway at present.
There have been several violent attacks by students in Russia in recent years, but school shootings are relatively rare in the country.
