Knife Attack at Russian School Leaves at Least 12 Wounded
'Two masked teenagers armed with knives stormed a school in the central Russian city of Perm on Monday, wounding at least 12 people, most of them elementary school students.
A social media profile that local news outlets said ws linked to one of the suspects contained dozens of posts about the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., in April 1999.
The Perm attack followed a spate of similar ones across Russia in recent months, which have prompted a debate about security measures at the country’s schools and universities.
On Sept. 5, four pupils were wounded at a school outside Moscow after a student attacked a teacher with a kitchen knife and then opened fire with an air gun. The 15-year-old assailant had also posted about the Columbine School massacre on social media, the Russian news media reported at the time.
On Nov. 1, an 18-year-old college student in Moscow stabbed a teacher to death and posted selfies with the body on social media.
Guns are difficult to purchase legally in Russia.'
