One month after the shooting in the University of Perm, in the Urals, and after the one in May in Kazan, another case of violence with firearms shakes Russian schools. In the municipality of Sars, located between the cities of Perm and Ekaterinburg and in the same region of the September attack, a 12-year-old boy showed up armed at school and fired some shots. The sixth-grade student fired twice at the ceiling, then aimed at the wall before being persuaded by the principal of the institute of the municipality of Sars to hand over the weapon. The 300 students and 30 teachers of the school managed to escape independently. The boy would have secretly stolen the weapon from his father.
“The Oktyabrsky Municipal District Police Department received a report at 8:00 am today that a boy fired two shots into the wall and ceiling of a school using a weapon,” the press service said. No explanation on the causes of the gesture was provided by the authorities: according to the Interfax agency among the reasons that emerged there would be problems of bullying. A month ago a university student of the faculty of law killed six people and injured another 20 in the university, where he arrived armed with a hunting rifle. The shooter, a sixth grade student, was arrested. Although the news initially circulated of the slight injury of one of the manager’s comrades, new updates would seem to support the hypothesis that no one was involved.
