Tragic School Shooting in Russia Claims Two Lives

A 14-year-old girl brought a pump-action shotgun to her school in Bryansk, Russia, and shot a fellow pupil dead, while also injuring five other children, before taking her own life. The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation. The incident has raised questions about how the student was able to obtain and bring a weapon to school. Russia has experienced several school shootings in recent years, including a mass shooting in Crimea in 2018 and a shooting in Izhevsk in 2019.
