A student opened fire Monday at a university in Russia, leaving six people dead and 28 hurt, before being shot by police and detained, officials said.
Beyond saying that he was a student, authorities offered no further information on his identity or possible motive.
The Investigative Committee said six people were killed, revising down its earlier figure of eight dead. No explanation was given for the change. Although firearms laws are strict in Russia, many people obtain permits for hunting weapons. News reports cited officials as saying the suspect had a permit for a pump-action shotgun, although it was not clear if it was for the weapon used.
