Death toll from Russian school shooting climbs to 13
No fewer than 13 people were killed, including seven children, in a shooting at a school in the Russian city of Izhevsk on Monday.
The Russian Investigative Committee said 14 children and seven adults were injured in the attack at the No. 88 School located near the city administration building of Izhevsk, the capital city of Western Russia’s Udmurt Republic.
The committee said that it was reported earlier that nine people were killed and no fewer than 20 others were wounded in the shooting.
The shooter committed suicide and his body had been found. However, his identity remains unclear as he had no documents with him.
The school had 982 students and 80 teachers, and they had been evacuated, with three days of mourning declared from Monday by the governor of the Udmurt Republic.
