Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>A 14-year-old girl opened fire at a secondary school in Bryansk, near the Ukraine border, resulting in the tragic death of a classmate and her own suicide on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The assailant, armed with a pump-action shotgun, unleashed a barrage of gunfire, leaving two dead and five injured, according to the statement by Russia\u2019s Investigative Committee.<\/p>\n

While school shootings are relatively rare in Russia due to stringent gun laws, incidents of violence within educational facilities have seen an alarming rise in recent years.<\/p>\n

Disturbing footage captured by students and shared on Russian state media depicted pupils desperately barricading themselves in a classroom, using desks to block the door.<\/p>\n

Authorities have yet to reveal the identity of the 14-year-old shooter, but confirmed her victim as a female classmate.<\/p>\n

The motives behind the crime and the acquisition of the weapon are still under investigation.<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s father has reportedly been taken in for questioning, and the family\u2019s apartment searched.<\/p>\n

In response to previous attacks, the Kremlin and officials in Moscow have expressed growing concern, with President Vladimir Putin attributing such incidents to what he describes as a U.S. import.<\/p>\n

The governor of the Bryansk region, Alexander Bogomaz, termed the incident a \u201cterrible tragedy\u201d and offered sincere condolences to the grieving parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an irreparable loss,\u201d Bogomaz stated, vowing to provide all necessary assistance to the affected families.<\/p>\n

The five wounded individuals, all minors, were rushed to a local children\u2019s hospital, with varying degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

Bryansk, a city of approximately 370,000 people in southwest Russia, has been targeted by regular Ukrainian drone attacks and occasional shelling since the summer.<\/p>\n

The region has witnessed increased security measures in response to geopolitical tensions, particularly following Russia\u2019s military involvement in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Russia has reinforced its strict gun ownership laws in the aftermath of several high-profile school shootings.<\/p>\n

In September of the previous year, a gunman in the western city of Izhevsk claimed the lives of 18 people, while in 2021, a 19-year-old shooter in Kazan, Tatarstan, killed nine at a school.<\/p>\n

Another tragic incident occurred in the Urals city of Perm, where a teenager took six lives at a university.<\/p>\n
