MOSCOW, February 3 (RIA Novosti) – Police say a student who killed a policeman and a teacher in a shooting at his school in northern Moscow has been “neutralized.”
The Interior Ministry said all students who had been taken hostage have been freed.
Officials said the attacker was a pupil at the school. It is unclear what motivated the attack.
Initial reports said the attacker overpowered a guard and broke into school 263 in the Otradnoye district of northeast Moscow.
The gunman, who was apparently a student in a senior class at the school, allegedly took several children hostage in a biology class. Another policeman was also injured in the attack.
Television footage showed the building being surrounded by police and fire emergency vehicles. State news broadcaster Rossiya-24 reported that an Emergencies Ministry helicopter had landed near the school and evacuated the injured policeman.
Updates with deaths, details.
