The Makarov pistols had beads hanging from them with the word “Columbine” and the names of the two perpetrators of the 1999 American high school massacre
Mental hospital inmate, neo-Nazi and fan of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre was the 34-year-old Artem Kazantsev, perpetrator of the massacre in the city of Izhevsk, Russia.
Kazantsev, a graduate of the school, killed 13 people, including seven children, and injured more than 20 before committing suicide. Many of the injured are in serious condition.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which investigates serious crimes, said the gunman was wearing a balaclava. According to information, the perpetrator had been recruited.
The Commission released a short video showing the body of the attacker lying on the floor of a classroom with furniture overturned and papers thrown on the floor.
He was dressed in black and on his T-shirt was a red swastika in a circle.
According to the Commission, the six adult victims of the perpetrator were teachers and security guards. The same source announced that 21 people, including 14 children, were injured.
The Tass news agency, citing investigators, reported that the attacker brought two Makarov pistols and a large amount of ammunition. The magazines had the word “hate” written on them, while the pistols had beads hanging from them with the word “Columbine” and the names of the two perpetrators of the 1999 American high school massacre (“Eric” and “Dylan”).
Izhevsk, a city of almost 650,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Udmurt republic in the center of the Russian Federation, just west of the Ural mountain range, which separates European from Asian Russia.
Russia has been the scene of several bloody school attacks in recent years.
In May 2021, a teenage gunman killed seven children and two adults in the city of Kazan.
In April 2022, a gunman killed two children and a teacher at a kindergarten in the Ulyanovsk region of central Russia and then killed himself.
Жуткая трагедия в Ижевске, unknown person made a shooting in the school, they write that the children died. I have no doubt that all this is the result of the atmosphere of hatred that Putin’s government and propaganda have fostered. When they say on TV 24/7 that they have to kill, maniacs act pic.twitter.com/MV8jt7XLcX
