Russia school shooting

27-09-2021 07:00

A man walks on to a campus at a university in Perm, Russia. He holds a gun. Students see him from the windows. The man starts to shoot.

Students and teachers barricade themselves in rooms. The man cannot get inside. Some people jump from windows.

The man kills six people. He hurts 28 people. Police shoot him and arrest him.

The man is a student at the university. He says that he hates people. He wants to hurt them.

Police do not know why the man does it. They do know it is not because of politics or religion.

Difficult words: campus (the grounds and buildings at a university or school), barricade (to block somebody), politics or religion (ideas about government and god; some people get very angry about these ideas).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
