The suspect is in custody. The Tatar Inform, a local news site, said the suspect openly carried the gun and first shot at a 16-year-old girl he saw near the gymnasium but didn’t hit her. A security guard pressed a panic button and closed the door, but Galyaviev shot out the glass and entered the building, wounding the female guard, according to the local news site.
Next, the gunman shot and wounded a man, planted an explosive device near a classroom door, and then ran to the second floor and entered a classroom, the site reported. “In the classroom, the children hid under the desks, the teacher did not hide. Galyaviev started shooting at them,” Tatar Inform reported of the terrifying sequence of events.
