At least 19 people have been killed and almost 40 wounded in a shooting carried out by a student at a vocational college in Crimea.

Several witnesses described a gunman stalking the halls and firing at classmates and teachers until he ran out of ammunition. A bomb may also have been detonated during the attack, although Russian government agencies provided conflicting reports. Sappers said they later disarmed several more explosive devices at the college.

The attacker was identified as Vladislav Roslyakov, 18, a student of the Kerch polytechnic college, Sergei Aksyonov, Crimea’s regional head announced on television. Roslyakov, who carried a shotgun or rifle, killed himself at the site of the attack. The motive behind the attack was not immediately made public, although reports in Russian media said he had told acquaintances he was angry at his teachers and wanted to “get revenge”.
