MOSCOW. Feb 3 (Interfax) - The high school student who has gone on a shooting spree in Moscow School N263 most likely did so because he had an emotional breakdown, Vladimir Markin from the Investigations Committee told reporters.
"We are now working on determining the motives. According to our information, [the shooter] was a straight A student and was most likely having some kind of emotional breakdown," Markin said.
Markin earlier told Interfax that "a criminal case has been opened based on Articles 206 (hostage-taking), 105 (murder), and 317 (attempted murder of law enforcement officials) of the Russian Criminal Code."
