A teenager armed with an axe has attacked fellow students at a school in southern Siberia, wounding five children and a teacher, officials said. Russia’s Investigative Committee said the ninth-grader entered a classroom during a lesson on Friday and attacked seventh-graders and their teacher. He set off a firebomb in the room and tried to kill himself before being apprehended. It is the second attack on a school in Russia this week. The attackers then tried to kill each other, but were detained.
