Students built barricades out of chairs to stop the shooter from entering their classrooms, they said. "There were about 60 people in the classroom. We closed the door and barricaded it with chairs," student Semyon Karyakin said. "I've thought about this for a long time, it's been years and I realised the time had come to do what I dreamt of," said a social media account attributed to him that was later taken down.The Kremlin said the gunman was probably disturbed, but declined to comment further saying it was a matter for the police.
