2020 Bolsheorlovskoe shooting

Daniil Monakhov (6 June 2002 — 12 or 13 October 2020) openly praised the Columbine shooters and often joked about death. A classmate stated Monakhov appeared withdrawn and was not particularly academically successful. According to the friend it was apparent Monakhov was planning something. The friend stated:

"I even noticed it when I talked to him at school. He was planning a terrorist attack back in ninth grade. The teachers at school were told about it, and the FSB came running, but they did nothing, they just put him on a watch list."^[1]

Monakhov publicly searched for weapons and watched videos about school shootings.

Monakhov's first victim was his 63-year-old grandmother, he shot point blank after she tried to stop Monakhov with two guns and 40 cartridges.^[2] The woman died a month later.^[3] Monakhov then shot Sergei Napylov in the back as he went out to check what the noise was, killing him instantly. Monakhov then began firing at the windows of the residential building; no one in the building was injured. The attacker then walked towards a bus stop, where he wounded Valentina Zhogonova, and opened fire on a bus with people parked there; no one on the bus was injured.^[4] Monakhov continued down the street past houses, shooting in all directions, until he entered the courtyard, where he wounded Viktor Artyukhin and killed both Nikolai Seleznev and Andrei Tikhomirov. The shooter later fled into the woods near the dachas, where shots were heard at approximately 04:50. At 07:12 the attacker was found dead 200 meters from the crime scene by Rosgvardia^[2] soldiers.

It is believed that Daniil allegedly had initially planned to commit a school shooting, but his grandmother thwarted the plan.^[3]
