Initially police said eight people had been killed, but health authorities later revised that to six dead as of late afternoon Monday. Twenty-eight people had sought medical attention with injuries of various degrees of severity, Perm's health ministry said, 19 of them with gunshot wounds. The students retreated up a floor, he said, but the gunman by then had also already made his way up the stairs.
Officer Konstantin Kalinin told Russian television he and his partner had run to the building after a witness told them there was a shooter. While his partner helped evacuate people, Kalinin said he went looking for the attacker. A post accompanying that one showed the suspected shooter in a helmet and with ammunition cartridges around his chest, giving the finger to the camera.
