MOSCOW — A gunman killed 13 people, including seven children, and wounded 21 other people in a school in central Russia on Monday, authorities said.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said the shooting took place in a school in Izhevsk, a city about 960 kilometers east of Moscow in the Udmurtia region. Those wounded were 14 children and 7 adults, the Committee said. The governor of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov, said in a video statement that the still unidentified gunman shot himself.
The school educates children between grades 1 and 11. It has been evacuated, and the area around it has been cordoned off, the governor said.
