Two killed in Moscow school shooting

A teacher and policeman have been killed by an armed teenager who burst into his Moscow school before being arrested.

None of the children who were in School No. 263 were hurt, said Karina Sabitova, a police spokeswoman at the scene.

The student also injured a second police officer who had responded to an alarm from the school.

A spokesman for Russia’s main investigative agency said the student showed up at the school with a gun and a school security guard tried to stop him. The guard was able to hit an alarm button before following the student to a biology class.

The student shot dead a teacher and opened fire on police officers who responded to the alarm, a spokesman for the Investigative Committee, said in a statement.
