At least six people were killed and 24 were wounded after a gunman opened fire at a university in the northwestern Russian city of Perm, the government in the region said Monday. (…) Russia’s Investigative Committee, a law enforcement agency, said the attacker was a student who had purchased a hunting rifle in May. The agency said he had been apprehended and is in the hospital for treatment of wounds suffered while resisting arrest. Konstantin Kalinin, the junior officer who authorities said restrained the gunman, said the attacker had a rifle and a knife. In a video posted on the Interior Ministry website Monday, Kalinin said he ran up to the gunman, restrained him, removed the weapons and ammunition, and then gave him first aid. The hunting weapon was legally obtained, Valery Gribakin, a spokesman for the Russian national guard, told state news agency Tass. Witnesses described hearing screams and the sound of gunshots popping repeatedly as some students ran to safety and others barricaded themselves in classrooms.
