The shooting took place outside the centre of Bryansk, a city near Ukraine that has been subjected to occasional shelling and drone attacks
A Russian teenager on Thursday shot dead a classmate and injured five others before killing herself in a school in Bryansk near the Ukrainian border, investigators said.
“A 14-year-old girl brought a pump-action shotgun to school, which she used to shoot her classmates. As a result, two died – one of them the shooter – and there are five wounded,” the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Authorities did not name the shooter, but said the victim was a female classmate in the secondary school in the Bryansk suburb.
“The motives behind the crime and all the circumstances are being established,” the Instigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said.
