A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after breaking into a school and carrying out a stabbing attack, which left a child and a security guard dead, in Russia at the Uspenskaya comprehensive secondary school. Wearing a mask and helmet, as well as a knife and pepper spray, he first attacked a security guard.
Identified as Timothy K., he killed Dmitri Pavlov, 32, who tried to disarm him when the teenager threatened a group of students with a knife. Timothy used pepper spray on the security guard and then attacked him.
Before attempting to attack other teenagers, he began questioning the students about their nationality. Then he set off in pursuit of one of them, who ended up being murdered.

The murder was filmed by the attacker himself, who also took a photo next to the body.
The other children barricaded themselves in the classrooms to prevent Timothée from approaching. At least two students were injured in the attack. The attacker had been a student at this school for three years.
Initially, the teenager was looking for a mathematics teacher, whom he believed was not Russian.
Timothy was subdued by a Russian special force, similar to Special Weapons and Tactics (Swat) teams, according to The Sun newspaper. Police said he wrote an 11-page report, distributed to his colleagues, in which he expressed his hatred towards society and people of different nationalities and religions.
On social networks, the teenager published publications in which he appears holding a sign with the phrase “no lives matter”, as well as slogans associated with a far-right group that promotes terrorism.
