A gunman in the Russian city of Kazan opened fire at a school early Tuesday, killing at least seven students and a teacher and injuring 21 others, Russian officials said.
The governor of Tatarstan, an oil-rich, Muslim-majority region where Kazan is the capital, said those killed in the attack were eighth-grade students at Kazan's School No. 175.
"We have lost seven children ... four boys and three girls," Rustam Minnikhanov told state TV, according to Reuters.
