Seven children and two adults have been killed in a shooting at a school in the Russian city of Kazan, officials say.
Twenty-one other people, mostly children, were injured. A 19-year-old suspect was detained.
The attack happened in the capital of the republic of Tatarstan, 820km (510 miles) east of Moscow.
Russian PM Mikhail Mishustin spoke of "great sorrow" while Tatarstan's leader Rustam Minnikhanov described the attack as a "major tragedy".
"We are deeply saddened that this has happened," he said.
Responding to the shooting, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would review the country's gun control laws.
School shootings are relatively rare in Russia. One of the last major incidents happened in Russian-annexed Crimea in 2018.
Mr Minnikhanov confirmed the deaths of seven children - four boys and three girls - as well as a female teacher and a female school worker at School No 175. It is believed the children were eighth graders (aged around 15).
The attack began at about 09:20 local time (06:20 GMT), a source in the emergency services told Russian news agency Tass. The first signal from a panic button at the school was sent five minutes later.
"Everyone started panicking and saying 'shut the doors'," a student who witnessed the attack told the Mediazona news website. "About a minute later the head teacher started yelling: 'We're shutting the doors!'
"We got out about 15 minutes later, not out of the windows. I wanted to do that, but the teacher closed the window immediately and said no."
Footage shared on social media shows some children jumping from windows to escape as well as injured people being evacuated. Russian TV reported that two of the children had died after jumping from a second-floor window.

Heavily armed police and emergency vehicles responded to the incident.
A Kazan resident outside the school told Moscow Echo radio station that people there were hysterical. "Parents are crying, medics are giving out medicine," she said.
Elvira Ignatyeva, a 25-year-old English teacher, was killed trying to shield one of the children, a police source told Tass news agency, quoting eyewitnesses.
She had pushed the child out of the way in a corridor and tried to block the gunman but was shot and mortally wounded, the source said.
On her Instagram account, Ms Ignatyeva had often posted upbeat messages over photos of herself enjoying walks and nights out.
"It's not that hard to make your life happy," she wrote on 1 February. You just need to stop thinking that happiness is only possible somewhere over there, in the future, and learn to enjoy every actual minute, here and now..."
Reports initially said that there were two gunmen and that one of them had been killed. But officials later said there was only one suspect, named locally as Ilnaz Galyaviev.
Russian investigators say he is a Kazan resident and it is believed he once studied at the school.
Mr Minnikhanov said the suspect was a registered firearm owner. According to Russian MP Alexander Khinshteyn, the suspect received a firearms licence only recently. The MP said it was for a semi-automatic shotgun.
Officials did not comment on the possible motive for the attack although Mr Minnikhanov called the attacker a "terrorist".
The suspect went on social media before the attack, posting that he planned to kill a "huge number" of people before shooting himself. Screenshots of his account, now blocked, show him wearing a black mask with the word "god" written across it in red.
A video on social media captured a teenager lying on the ground apparently being detained outside the building.

Authorities have called for all schools in Tatarstan to be inspected and have their security stepped up.
A day of mourning will be held on Wednesday to honour the victims.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said President Putin had ordered the chief of Russia's National Guard to "work out as a matter of urgency new regulations on the types of weapon that can be in civilian circulation and that can be owned by the public".
The instruction was issued "given the type of firearm used by the shooter", Mr Peskov said. "The fact is that sometimes types of small arms are registered as hunting weapons, which in some countries are used as assault rifles," he explained.
Poorly guarded schools and a gun debate
People in Kazan seem to be completely shocked and devastated by what has happened. It is a big city - with more than one million people - which has enjoyed peace and stability over the past decade.
Schools in Kazan - as well as in most other Russian cities - are not really guarded. Usually it is just one or two unarmed private security guards who meet people coming to the school at the gates. Often many of these so-called security officers are pensioners with no special training. But even if they had any it is hard to confront an armed person with bare hands.
It is worth mentioning that the Kazan gunman allegedly used a gun very similar to one the attacker in Crimea used in 2018. It is a relatively cheap but powerful rifle which can be bought for the equivalent of just $280 (ยฃ200). There are a lot of discussions now in Russia about whether the regulations for civilian gun ownership should be changed.
How frequent are school shootings in Russia?
Shootings at schools are relatively rare in Russia compared with other countries.
In November 2019 a 19-year-old student shot dead a classmate and injured three others before killing himself in the far eastern city of Blagoveshchensk. Investigators said the motive for the attack may have been a personal conflict
In October 2018 a teenager armed with a semi-automatic shotgun killed 20 people at a technical college in the city of Kerch in Russian-annexed Crimea. He then shot himself dead
In February 2013, a 15-year-old student shot dead a teacher and a police officer, injuring a second police officer, when he took hostages at a school in Moscow. Investigators said the killer appeared to have had an "emotional breakdown"

UPDATED: Russian Schoolgirl Teaches Instructor, Media A Lesson
UPDATED: Russian Schoolgirl Teaches Instructor, Media A Lesson

The Independent" has reposted a shocker of a video that highlights the problem of bullying by Russian teachers, even toward the youngest of students.
Or does it?
"Hey teacher, leave them kids alone: Aggressive teacher gets kicked in the groin by humiliated little girl," the "Indy" says of the embedded video at the heart of its story, which was the second-most-viewed article on independent.co.uk as of September 11.
In it, a pig-tailed pupil is berated in front of the chalkboard and her peers by a caustic and increasingly abusive teacher.
The whole thing looks like it's shot on a mobile phone, viewed from about the third row as the teacher goes off the rails during an English lesson on personal pronouns.
Prodded at one too many times, the young girl finally strikes back, delivering poetic justice in the form of a kick to the teacher's crotch.
[UPDATE: The original publisher of that video has removed it or blocked it on YouTube. The YouTube video that appears below was functioning on September 12.]
"The Independent" explains that "Russian speakers commenting on the video say that the teacher's rant seems to be based on little more than the fact the girl could not understand the work on the board."
Like many places, Russia has its share of endemic bullying. In the military. At police stations. And yes, at school. But this isn't one of those instances.
Instead, it's a cautionary tale for Western journalists in credulity (a word that's cropping up a lot these days, between the kerfuffle over the Azerbaijani ax-murderer's pardon and 9/11 conspiracy theories). Because the schoolgirl-as-avenging-angel video is not a story.
There are warning signs. The steady camera work of the little girl's presumed "classmate," for instance, who would be about 8 years old him/herself. Another classmate sticking his tongue out right on cue. The girl aiming for the teacher's crotch, rather than going straight for the shins.
And sure enough, the video turns out to be a fiendishly well-distributed promotion for a new Russian cable and satellite TV channel aimed at kids. It's called simply "ะฎ," the letter "U" in Cyrillic. The slogan ("ะฎ - ะญะขะ ะขะซ") is a play on English and Russian: "U - That's You." (You is the word that the terrifying teacher is trying -- literally and figuratively -- to drill into the hapless little girl's head in the video.)
Another promotional video is more like what you'd expect from a station aimed at families:
Channel U's launch is scheduled for September 16.
And hats off to the PR agency behind the ruse.
But the next time a Russian viral video comes across someone's desk at "The Independent," editors might want to consult that upstart newspaper's Russian owner, oligarch Aleksandr Lebedev, whose family bought "The Independent" in 2010.
This "non fiction" of the Russian life is the bitter medicine for the population that `ve seen nothing of the kind during the Soviet era.
No wonder this population hate this calling "chernukha" and the majority demand the censorship.
