At least seven children and two adults have been killed and around 20 more injured in a mass shooting at a school in the Russian city of Kazan.
A gunman attacked school no. 175 in the city, about 500 miles east of Moscow, on Tuesday morning while hundreds of children were in classes. Armed with a semi-automatic shotgun and explosives, the attacker forced his way into the building and made his way to classrooms and opened fire on eight graders there, according to police.
Heavily armed police stormed the school and detained the alleged shooter, identified as a 19-year-old man.
