The Izhevsk gunman was identified as Artyom (Artem) Kazantsev, 34, who was reportedly a former student at the school, and was a “registered” patient at a psychiatric facility, according to WSAV. Reports from NBC stated that 39 people were wounded, others stated 24.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Russia’s firearms laws are extremely strict. Police stated that Kazantsev used two non-lethal handguns adapted to use real bullets in his rampage. The guns were not registered with authorities.

Alexander Brechalov, the governor of the Udmurtia region, stated that guards, children, and teachers were killed in the attack.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the shooting as “a terrorist act” and said Russian President Vladimir Putin has given all the necessary orders to the relevant authorities.
“President Putin deeply mourns deaths of people and children in the school, where a terrorist act took place,” Peskov told reporters Monday.
The school educates children between grades one and 11. It has been evacuated and the area around it has been cordoned off, the governor said. AP
Do mass shootings occur in other countries? Moms Demand Action and other anti-gun groups claim they only occur in the United States. This incident in Izhevsk is not the only mass school shooting in Russia, it has happened before.
