Russia's Investigative Committee said several people were also injured in the attack at Perm State University and that the suspect had been wounded while being detained.
The last such deadly attack took place in May 2021, when a 19-year-old gunman opened fire in his old school in the central Russian city of Kazan, killing nine people.
On the day of that attack - one of the worst in recent Russian history - President Vladimir Putin called for a review of gun control laws. In October 2018, another teenage gunman killed 20 people at a Kerch technical college in Crimea, the peninsula Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. The Crimea shooter was able to legally obtain a gun licence after undergoing marksmanship training and being examined by a psychiatrist.
