One person has died and a woman has been severely injured after a gunman opened fire inside a courthouse in the city of Novokuznetsk in southwestern Siberia. The rifle-wielding suspect has been apprehended.
The incident unfolded early Thursday morning around 9.20 local time, a law enforcement source told TASS news agency.
The assailant was detained on the scene and taken into custody.
A male court officer, who suffered a gunshot wound as result of the attack, succumbed to his injuries and died in an ambulance en route to hospital.
A female court staffer has been severely injured, and is in a serious condition.
There has been reports that the attacker was an aggrieved defendant who left the courtroom mid-hearing, only to come back with a firearm he allegedly kept in his vehicle outside. As he reentered the building, armed with a deadly weapon, a court officer attempted to stop him but was shot dead instead.
The shooter then moved to the courtroom where he fired at another person, TASS reported, citing a law enforcement source.
