Unidentified man fired on reception of Federal Security Service and was later shot deadOne person has been shot dead after an unidentified gunman opened fire on the office of the Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia’s main intelligence agency, in the heart of Moscow. Video shows the gunman raking the Lubyanka building with rounds of gunfire and shattering windows. As night fell, armed FSB officers were carrying out sweeps of neighbouring courtyards in a search for the gunman’s possible accomplices. “I was sitting in a cafe opposite the FSB building when we heard shots,” Sergei Komlin said. The FSB building, which takes up an entire city block, was used by the KGB and its Soviet predecessors for interrogations and detaining opponents.
