Beyond saying that he was a student, Russian authorities offered no further information on his identity or a possible motive. In some footage, a black-clad helmeted figure could be seen striding on a sidewalk at Perm State University, cradling a long-barreled weapon. The university, which has 12,000 students, said about 3,000 people were on campus at the time. “I feel shock, disdain and anger,” university student Olga Kechatova said later at a makeshift memorial outside the university.
