		</div><p>A gunman has opened fire in a school in central Russia, killing 15 people including 11 children and hurting 24 others before shooting himself dead, authorities said.</p>
<p>The shooting took place at School Number 88 in Izhevsk, a city 600 miles east of Moscow in the Udmurtia region.</p>
<p>Russia’s Investigative Committee identified the gunman as 34-year-old Artyom Kazantsev, a graduate of the same school, and said he was wearing a black T-shirt bearing “Nazi symbols”.</p>
<p>No details about his motives have been released.</p>
<p>The governor of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov, said the gunman, who he said was registered as a patient at a psychiatric facility, killed himself after the attack.</p>
<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the shooting as “a terrorist act” and said Russian President Vladimir Putin has given all the necessary orders to the relevant authorities.</p>
<p>“President Putin deeply mourns deaths of people and children in the school, where a terrorist act took place,” Mr Peskov told reporters on Monday.</p>
<p>The school educates children between UK years two and 12 – ages six and seven to 16 and 17.</p>
<p>It was evacuated and the area around it cordoned off, the governor said.</p>
<p>Russia’s National Guard said Kazantsev used two non-lethal handguns adapted to fire real bullets.</p>
<p>The guns were not registered with the authorities.</p>
<p>A criminal probe has been launched on charges of multiple murder and illegal possession of firearms.</p>
<p>Izhevsk, a city of 640,000, is located west of the Ural mountains in central Russia.</p>
