An emergency occurred at a school in the city of Ivanteevka, Moscow Region, on Tuesday, September 5: a ninth-grade student attacked a computer science teacher and opened fire with a pneumatic weapon. A 15-year-old teenager was detained.
As reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, at school N1 in Ivanteevka, a student born in 2002 scattered smoke bombs in the classroom and fired a shot from a pneumatic weapon. Four people were hospitalized, including a 38-year-old teacher and three 15-year-old children who jumped out of a window in fear.
The regional prosecutor's office initially said that the teenager also hit the teacher on the head with a kitchen hatchet, and then began to explode homemade firecrackers in the classroom and opened fire with an air gun. This message was later deleted from the Prosecutor General's Office website.
The detainee was taken to the police department, all the circumstances of the incident are being clarified, according to a message on the website of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The press service of the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs TASS stated that employees of the juvenile affairs unit of the Pushkinskoye Municipal Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia are interviewing the detained schoolboy in the presence of parents. Vesti.ru names the student's name - Mikhail Pivnev.
“On behalf of the prosecutor of the Moscow region Alexei Zakharov, the prosecutor’s office of the city of Ivanteevka is conducting an inspection, during which a legal assessment will be given to the actions of officials of the educational organization. If there are grounds, comprehensive prosecutorial response measures will be taken,” added the press service of the supervisory agency. The progress of the pre-investigation check was taken under control by the prosecutor's office. Ivanteevka prosecutor Sergei Koshelev is at the scene of the incident.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation told its version of what happened. According to the department, a 15-year-old ninth-grade student came to school with an air gun, which he carried under his raincoat. In the classroom, the boy pulled out a weapon and fired a shot towards the teacher.
“As a result, the teenagers got scared and three jumped out of the window. According to preliminary data, one boy had a fracture, two had bruises, and the teacher received an open head injury. At present, the lives of the victims are not in danger,” the statement said.
The Investigative Committee confirmed that the minor was detained by police officers; investigators have already begun working with him, who “will find out the motives for his actions.” “At the moment it is known that the boy’s family is prosperous,” the department added.
Investigators plan to study the minor’s social circle, his surroundings and recent hobbies. “In addition, a strict legal assessment will be given to the actions of the school management, which must ensure the organization of security in the educational institution, as well as the authorities of the prevention system,” the Investigative Committee said.
A criminal case was initiated under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism). The investigation was taken under control in the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
The teenager planned an attack: he set a scary status on the social network and recalled the Columbine massacre.
The teenager planned an attack on the school in advance, Life.ru reports with reference to the Mash telegram channel. The boy stole a traumatic pistol from his father, took several large firecrackers with him and went to school on Tuesday.A source confirmed to TASS that the student planned the attack in advance. According to him, he posted on his page on social networks photographs with weapons, links to pages for ordering axes, and also wrote “delete my life” with the date September 5 in the status line.
In addition, in April, the teenager published a post about the massacre that took place at Columbine High School in April 1999. Then two teenagers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, burst into the school with guns. The criminals killed 12 students and one teacher, injured 23 people, and then committed suicide. The Ivanteevsky schoolboy admitted that this incident leads him to tragic and suicidal thoughts.
According to an RBC source, before the ninth-grader’s attack on the teacher, she reprimanded him for appearing in class wearing combat boots and a long raincoat. According to eyewitnesses quoted by Life.ru, on September 5, a boy burst into the computer science classroom, ordered all students to sit on the floor and shouted “I came here to die!” shot the teacher. Schoolchildren, frightened by the incident, began to jump out of windows, as a result, three of them were injured and were hospitalized.
A source in law enforcement agencies reported to TASS that a ninth-grader scattered explosive packages along the corridor of the third floor of the school - loud pops were heard and smoke came out of the building. “After that, he entered the classroom and opened fire,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
Another source said that at first the teenager, a student of class 9 "A", scattered several explosive packages along the corridor. After this, the student entered the classroom and shot at the teacher with a traumatic pistol, which, according to preliminary data, he took from his father. Three children jumped out of the window and were injured.
The condition of all victims is moderate.
RBC reported that there was a shooting at school N1 and explosions were heard. “The guy was blown away. He shot and shouted that he had come here to die. We were in the next office. His classmates jumped from the window, the girl broke her leg,” one of the students told RBC.According to RBC's source in the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations, four people were injured as a result of the incident: Lyubov Kalmykova (received bruised wounds to the frontal part of the head), Vyacheslav B. (open fracture of both bones of the left forearm), Victoria M. (fracture of the left ankle), Alena S. (bruise of the lumbar region). A source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs clarified that Kalmykova is a teacher of mathematics and computer science.
All four victims of the incident are in moderate condition, the press service of the Moscow Region Ministry of Health told TASS on Tuesday. As noted by the Minister of Health of the Moscow Region, Dmitry Markov, on the Rossiya 24 TV channel, the injured 38-year-old woman had a scalp injury, and three teenagers, all aged 15, received broken limbs. “All four are in the central district hospital of Ivanteevka and have been examined by doctors,” he said.
Possible cause of attack named
Eyewitnesses told TASS that after the incident became known, the police took children and teachers to the playground and cordoned off the school in Ivanteevka. “People in helmets took all the children out of school into the street. The police also took out the ninth-grader,” the agency’s interlocutor said.The reasons for the teenager's behavior are unknown at this time. According to one version, an intra-school conflict could have led to the boy’s aggressive behavior. Law enforcement agencies reported this to TASS. “Police officers are now working with the teenager. According to one version, the cause of the incident could have been a conflict between a student and a teacher or with classmates,” the source said. According to him, the student was preparing for an attack.
Because of the incident, the school was closed on Tuesday, the school administration told TASS on Tuesday. “The children were sent home. School will not be open today. Classes will resume tomorrow,” an administration official said.
The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, took personal control of the situation with the incident at the Ivanteevsk school, Interfax reports, citing the press service of the head of the region. “All changes are reported to me promptly. The victims - teachers and schoolchildren - are provided with all the necessary medical and psychological assistance. There is no threat to their lives,” Vorobiev is quoted as saying in the message.
The investigation is also being monitored by the Children's Ombudsman of the Moscow Region, Ksenia Mishonova. She said that it will be checked how the teenager managed to bring the weapon into the school. The Ministry of Education and Science hopes for a speedy investigation into the shooting incident in Ivanteevka. The head of the ministry’s information policy department, Andrei Emelyanov, announced this to TASS on Tuesday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. “We are clarifying the details, there is still a lot of conflicting information,” he said.
Let us recall that the most resonant shooting incident in a Russian school occurred on February 3, 2014. Then tenth grade student Sergei Gordeev came with a gun to school N263, where he studied. The teenager killed teacher Andrei Kirillov on the spot. The schoolboy opened fire in the direction of the police officers called by the security guard. As a result, senior sergeant Vladimir Krokhin was injured, and warrant officer Sergei Bushuev was killed.
On March 3, 2015, the Butyrsky Court of the capital sent the teenager for compulsory treatment in a medical organization providing psychiatric care in a specialized inpatient setting with intensive supervision, and also excluded the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Hostage-taking” from the charges. Based on the results of the examination, Sergei Gordeev was declared insane. The media found out the details and versions of the massacre at school No. 263 in the capital’s Otradnoe district. Meanwhile, the student who started the school shooting explained his actions.
According to the investigation, the teenager who killed a geography and biology teacher and a policeman at Moscow school No. 263 the day before was in a state of acute mental disorder at the time of the incident.
After tenth-grader Sergei Gordeev shot teacher Andrei Kirillov, he told his classmates that he had “revealed the meaning of life” and would tell them about it.

According to Life News, the student said that he goes with his father to train in the use of weapons at the shooting range, noting that he has achieved some success in this.
The man who took the students of school 263 hostage was persuaded by his father to surrender
The investigation has yet to find out how the carbine and rifle, legally owned by his father, ended up in the possession of a 15-year-old boy.
However, it was Sergei’s father who helped neutralize his son: the man persuaded the teenager, at whose hands two people had already died and another was wounded, to surrender.
According to Gordeev’s classmate, three shots were fired in the classroom: two to the teacher’s chest and a third, “control” shot, to the head.
“Then he started talking to someone on the phone, it turned out that it was his father. He convinced him to surrender and actually saved our lives. The father came into the class and talked to him,” the student said.
School 263 Moscow: latest news
Classmates describe Gordeev as an aloof young man who cried because of poor grades in junior high.
“Even though he was an excellent student, no one was interested in him. Shadow Man,” the guys note.
In high school, Sergei significantly improved his academic performance and was even among the winners at school Olympiads.
Peers of the teen killer say the always quiet boy acted crazy during the incident.
“He came in wearing a fur coat: the eyes of a madman, talking about death. It’s as if he had a split personality,” said Godeeva’s classmate.
“Fourth period, he wasn’t at school before. He arrived just in time for the fourth lesson, ten minutes late. He simply knocked, Andrei Nikolaevich opened the door, he entered the classroom and immediately shot twice at point-blank range. Andrei Nikolaevich just fell into his lap. He didn't even say anything. He simply opened the door, and Seryozha fired two shots... No one expected this from Seryozha,” NTV quotes a girl named Lyudmila. She also added that the students in the office were frightened by what was happening and hid under their desks.
Seizure of a school in Otradnoye: versions of the tragedy
According to the main version of the murder, the teenager had a very tense relationship with the teacher, but classmates say that they never observed an open conflict, and the deceased Andrei Kirillov is generally characterized as a rather gentle person.
Meanwhile, Moskovsky Komsomolets publishes a “homophobic” version of what happened.
“Some of our guys thought that Kirillov had deviations in orientation. Actually, “some” is Seryoge: he was a rabid homophobe. Never hid it. That’s why he constantly called the geographer a “faggot.” I did punch Seryoga a couple of times after yet another insult to the geographer. To which Seryoga reacted harshly: “I’ll show you again, you’ll regret your words.” And he constantly repeated: “If there was an opportunity, I would shoot all the gays and those who protect them,” said one of the classmates of the young killer.
The student who carried out the shooting at a Moscow school was an excellent student
According to the so-called semi-official version of the conflict, the teacher gave Gordeeva a “D” in geography in her diary. Since the young man was going for a gold medal, even a grade not entered in the journal could ruin his “career.” However, none of the students actually saw this assessment. According to some reports, a tense relationship with the geographer could have arisen after the student caught the teacher being inaccurate and then stopped going to his lessons.
Andrey Kirillov began working at school No. 263 immediately after graduating from university. For seven years he taught geography and biology, and after his son was born, he began to earn extra money as a tutor. There have never been any complaints about the calm and balanced teacher.

“Of course, I’m shocked, because this boy was an excellent student, he had no conflicts with anyone. His photograph hung on the honor board at school. I was the best in physical education, I was the best in everything, I was going for the gold medal,” said one of the colleagues of the murdered teacher, Ksenia Ivanova.
It is known that Sergei was quite reserved and even on social networks he had only 30 friends. Nevertheless, the boy tried to be the best in everything and even enrolled in the sambo section to develop his physically weak body.
“He is a modest, downtrodden guy. Taciturn, hard of hearing. He had to repeat the task several times. But he didn’t give the impression of some kind of psychopath. Rather, he was just an introverted child, I would even say, with a kind soul,” said Gordeev’s coach.
Why did a student shoot a teacher in Otradnoye?
The high school killer himself said that he carried out the massacre because “no one understands him.”
“The whole world is an illusion, and no one understands me... They don’t accept my views... I’m tired of living, but I didn’t want to commit suicide. I hoped that they would shoot me,” Gordeev said.

A student shot a geography teacher: reasons
During interrogation, the teenager noted that the geography teacher was a very good person, but he was shot because he tried to take away the gun and began to come closer. At the same time, he noted that he did not kill the teacher because of his grades: “I was afraid of death, but I was interested in what it looked like.”
In connection with the armed attack on the school, a criminal case was opened under the articles of the Criminal Code “Hostage-taking”, “Murder” and “Encroachment on the lives of law enforcement officers”. A psychological examination has been ordered against Sergei Gordeev. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
A real hostage drama took place today in the capital at school No. 263. An armed teenager broke into an educational institution on Otradnaya Street (in the north-east of Moscow) and held more than 20 children and a teacher in the classroom. Then he shot the teacher, one of the police officers who urgently arrived at the scene, and wounded another. And after negotiations he gave up. In total, he managed to fire more than 10 shots. Now the teenager, who studied at this school and was an excellent student, will undergo a psychiatric examination.
It was not the bell for recess, but shots that interrupted classes at Moscow school No. 263 in Otradnoye at noon. A 10th grade student came to school armed with two rifles. The security guard tried not to let him in, but the gunshot argument was stronger, and the teenager still went to school.
The key point in this story is that the security guard managed to press the panic button. While the immediate response team was responding to a call, an armed student entered a classroom on the first floor, where a geography lesson was being taught. With the first shot he wounded teacher Andrei Kirillov in the stomach, and with the second he killed him. The teenager took 24 students hostage.
The police squad that arrived at this moment tried to detain the shooter, but he opened fire, and to kill. Ensign Sergei Bushuev was mortally wounded on the threshold of the classroom, and his partner, Sergeant Vladimir Prokhin, was seriously wounded.
The police surround the school, find out the identity of the shooter and begin negotiations. Moscow Mayor Sobyanin and Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev are on site. At the same time, students are evacuated from the school to a safe place.
About an hour after the first shot, the father of the armed teenager joins the negotiations. It was his rifles, which the man owns absolutely legally, that the young man used. First, he talks with his son on the phone, then, putting on a bulletproof vest, he enters the classroom. After about 15 minutes, he persuades the students to be released, and they leave the class. The operation to capture the young man is carried out by special forces when the father and son are left alone. They neutralize the teenager without firing shots, although he himself had managed to shoot at least 10 times before that moment.
“Perhaps, from the point of view of adults, this conflict was insignificant, petty, childish, but, from the point of view of this student, it could be global, insoluble. Here it is necessary to take into account both the personality characteristics of this young man and the situation in which he found himself ", says the head of the department of emergency psychiatry and assistance in emergency situations of the State Scientific Center for Social Protection named after V.A. Serbian Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Anna Portnova.
The main and so far only version of why the teenager, whose last name cannot be given because he is a minor, did this: a nervous breakdown. Although some kind of conflict with the teacher is possible, which outsiders only assume. After all, according to classmates, the culprit of the tragedy was very secretive and reserved, studied well and could qualify for a gold medal. The motives for the crime will be clarified by a psychological examination that is going to be carried out at the Serbsky Institute.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin ordered a check of the security system in all schools in the capital.
“We need to learn the appropriate lessons, conduct an internal investigation of the school’s activities, find out the reasons. This is the first. And the second is to take measures to strengthen security in Moscow schools. Video surveillance and security systems have been created, which are funded by the city. However, apparently these measures are not enough , so I decided to conduct an audit of the security system in schools and take additional measures,” said Sergei Sobyanin.
The teenager will be charged with three criminal charges. The maximum punishment is up to 10 years in prison.
"The teacher Andrei Nikolaevich Kirillov was only 29 years old. He was a teacher of geography and biology. The school students speak very well of him, they loved him. He behaved absolutely heroically, it is possible that he prevented more numerous victims. We will definitely present him to the government award," said Russian Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov.
Teacher Andrei Kirillov left behind a small child. Warrant officer Sergei Bushuev, who was shot dead by a teenager, has a daughter.
On the morning of September 5, at school No. 1 in Ivanteevka near Moscow, 15-year-old student “9A” Mikhail P. attacked computer science teacher Lyubov Kalmykova.
As school students told Novaya Gazeta, the incident occurred during the third period in a classroom on the second floor. Mikhail P. entered the office after the bell, shouting: “I came here to die!”
The prosecutor's office confirmed that the teenager hit the teacher on the head with a kitchen hatchet.
“Then the teenager began to explode homemade firecrackers in the classroom and opened fire with a pneumatic weapon,” an Interfax source told the Prosecutor General’s Office.
The Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Moscow Region, Ksenia Mishonova, told Interfax that classmates locked themselves in the laboratory during the attack, several people jumped out of the window and received bruises and fractures.
As a result, according to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, four people were hospitalized: a teacher in intensive care with a severe head injury and three students - their bruises and fractures were the result of a jump from a second-floor window of the school.

“Accumulated over three years”: bullying, aggression, camouflage, combat boots
On September 5, on Mikhail P.’s VKontakte page the status was indicated: delete my life 09/05/17 (delete my life 09/05/17).
Mikhail was seriously interested in weapons. For at least the last year, most of his messages have been devoted to weapons: their varieties, design, and use. If you scroll through a student’s message feed, you get the feeling that he was not really interested in anything other than weapons. Some messages are devoted to the topic of death.
Pupils of the first Ivanteevsk school, with whom Novaya Gazeta managed to contact, said that Mikhail was extraordinary and aggressive. “He wore combat boots and camouflage pants, although he wore glasses,” said Semyon L., who was in the class a year younger than Mikhail.
Mikhail’s relationship with schoolchildren is confirmed by the words of his sister, as well as another school teacher. The first one now says: “Yes, he did it because he had accumulated over three years... His classmates, they hurt him in every possible way, and it annoyed him.” Teacher: “He shouted something like: I’ve been waiting for this for three years, but I haven’t known him long enough to explain it.”
Mikhail has only 4 friends. Together they share a video filmed back in April 2017, where a student brings a gun in a musical instrument case to class and kills a physics teacher he doesn’t know. The video was filmed in a Russian school.
Screenshot of a page with a video about the murder of a teacher by a schoolboy Even earlier, in February of this year, Mikhail reposted similar content. There is no violence there yet. The message is different: “when the class starts talking about school shootings,” everyone looks at me. To Mikhail? He reposted comments: “vital.”

"Columbine"
USA, 1999. Two high school students, having obtained weapons (a shotgun, a semi-automatic pistol, gas cylinders), carried out a massacre at Columbine High School.
13 people were killed and 26 wounded. Harris and Klebold committed suicide.
Criminal case adjusted for age
The detained teenager will be charged under the article “Hooliganism”. The student will have to undergo a psychiatric examination - media reports that he has already been seen by a psychiatrist.

In February 2014, a high school student, taking his father’s gun and rifle, broke into school No. 263 in the Moscow Otradnoe district and shot geography teacher Andrei Kirillov. When police arrived at the building, the teenager opened fire, wounding a senior sergeant and killing a warrant officer. The high school student was persuaded by his father to surrender, he contacted his son several times by phone, and then entered the school with the police, wearing a bulletproof vest. The arrest was carried out by SOBR soldiers.
At first they said that the 15-year-old schoolboy, who was going to the medal, had a conflict with Kirillov. But then, in an interview with Izvestia, the attacker himself said that he was going to die, he was “interested in what would happen after.”
In 2016, the Moscow District Military Court released the attacker from criminal liability and sent him for compulsory psychiatric treatment.
Moscow schoolboy, 10th grade student Sergei, who shot geography teacher Andrei Kirilov and a policeman, has long attracted attention with his strange behavior. Having burst into the classroom, the teenager told his hostage classmates that he adhered to the ideas of solipsism. Then Sergei called his mother and said that the solution for supporters of solipsism was death. It is reported that the mother refused to represent the interests of her son in court; this was entrusted to the juvenile affairs inspector.
As it became known, his own mother refused to represent in court the interests of Sergei Gordeev, a 15-year-old Moscow schoolboy who took his classmates hostage and killed two people - a young geography teacher and a policeman who arrived on call. Another policeman is seriously wounded; Muscovites are being asked to donate blood to save him.
The tragedy occurred on Monday, January 3, in the capital’s school No. 263, located in Otradnoye in the north-east of Moscow.
At first the messages arrived were extremely confusing, but later the following became known. A 15-year-old student of the 10th grade of the same school, Sergei (later his last name became known - Gordeev) came to school with two weapons: a small-caliber rifle and a hunting carbine. Having threatened the guard who was trying to detain him with a rifle, the guy went into the biology classroom on the first floor, where at that time his 10th grade class was having a geography lesson.
One of the hostages, Sergei’s classmate, tells what happened next, but it was never possible to find out who exactly. . Whether this story is real evidence or a skillful stylization has not yet been determined
Nevertheless, we present this text almost in its entirety, it is too expressive.
"From Igor Kossich from the words of student ***:
“We are sitting in geography. Suddenly someone knocks on the door. Andrei Nikolaevich comes up and opens it. Gordeev’s face appears. Everyone begins to rejoice, clap their hands and laugh. Andrei Nikolaevich did not have time to say anything when Seryoga shot him in the face. Andrei Nikolaevich did a couple of turns and fell to the floor, gushing blood. Gordeev says: “I already killed the guard, sit quietly." Then Valentina Nikolaevna (a former biology teacher, grandmother) comes out, he pointed the gun at her and told her to get out of here. She left, and he went to the pulpit. Andrei Nikolaevich was snoring and gasping for breath. Seryoga said: “And now a question for evaluation, why hasn’t he died yet? I killed him."
Then he says: “two points for everyone” and shoots Andrei Nikolaevich a couple more times. Then he began to tell what exactly happened to him... He started from childhood, when he was raised as a man who believed in God, how he read and wrote all sorts of strange stories... Then he began to circle the helicopter and sat down on the football field. Seryoga shot out the window, about 6 shots. Then the police came into the corridor and he fired a couple of shots there (he hit the police), shouting that he had hostages, and in 15 minutes he would shoot himself so as not to be disturbed. He constantly drove a rifle at us, but he said that he was just for show and wasn’t going to kill any of us. Then his mother called, and he began to cry, saying that he was crazy and wanted to die to find out what was in the end. His mother told him that after death there is nothing... My grandmother called, he picked up the phone and also began talking to her on speakerphone. She asked: “Seryozhenka, why did you go without a jacket?” And Seryozhka came in a coat to hide the rifles and a bag with a hundred rounds of ammunition. Then his employees asked that they take away the bodies. Sergei allowed us to take only those in the corridor. Andrei Nikolaevich was lying down. Then my father called and said that he would come soon. Gordeev allowed him to come, but without weapons. And while no one called him, although they were calling him constantly now, he pointed a gun at us and told us how tired he was of such a life and wanted to die. I suggested that he go out and surrender, but he responded with some kind of nonsense, I don’t remember exactly. Both his mother and father offered him, but he said that he was not an idiot, and they would tie him up, and there would be no second chance to die. He freaked out, asked if there were snipers here... Then my father came. He stood at the door, saw Andrei Nikolaevich and, grinning, greeted us. We greeted him. It felt like he was going to lose consciousness. But he said that he felt bad, he was going to vomit and asked to go to the sink (which was near the pulpit). He went to the sink, then to the pulpit and covered us with himself. I then felt safe and, probably 10 times, I pushed Lyokha to run away. Lyokha said that he would not run, because... he'll shoot us. Gordeev’s father cried and asked what went wrong, where did he go wrong?! Then, after about 30 seconds, he persuaded Gordeev to give him two rifles, and his father took them and threw them into the corridor. Gordeev was left with one rifle, which had 3 cartridges. He took a chair and sat down at the pulpit, the father also closed us, and they still talked for about 40 seconds. Then the father stood up, turned to us and told us to go out one by one. And we started going out...
He talked on the phone for a long time with his mother, grandmother, and father. From the conversation it became clear that he took out cartridges that were not particularly hidden, but were somewhere in the chest of drawers and came to us “to shoot before dying.” Mom said something else like, who will he leave Vanya with? (his younger brother) and something like that."
We will not comment on this.
According to Moskovsky Komsomolets, according to classmates, Sergei allegedly managed to tell his hostages that he was an adherent of solipsism.
(“Solipsism (from Lat. solus - the only one and Lat. ipse - itself) is a radical philosophical position, characterized by the recognition of one’s own individual consciousness as the only and undoubted reality, and the denial of the objective reality of the surrounding world. Sometimes this term is used in an ethical sense as an extreme egocentrism" - Wikipedia.)
According to the publication, allegedly, after the murder of 29-year-old teacher Andrei Kirillov, Sergei told his mother that the only way out for supporters of solipsism was to die, because there was no place for them in this world.
Classmates had long noticed that Sergei’s mental health was not in order: according to fellow students, no one was friends with him, he was always on the outskirts, and he didn’t have a girlfriend. At the same time, the guy studied well, counted on a medal, it seems that the geography teacher somehow lowered his grade, but this information is not confirmed, perhaps the young “solipsist” was simply taking revenge on the whole world, which refused to accept him.
Probably, the peculiarities of the son’s psyche also worried his parents; it seems that Sergei’s father (according to some sources, either a former or current FSB officer) tried to raise a real man from the withdrawn boy. Gordeev, however, without much success, took part in the wrestling section; his father, being an avid hunter, taught his son to shoot.
Moskovsky Komsomolets also reported that Sergei’s mother refused to represent her son’s interests during the preliminary investigation (the detained schoolboy is in a pre-trial detention center). The interests of the suspect will be represented in court by an employee of the juvenile affairs inspectorate.
The question remains about Gordeev Sr., who, according to the evidence given above, actually saved the hostages. The man seemed to act quite professionally, showing himself to be an experienced and calm negotiator. And the fact that he was allowed to negotiate alone with an armed terrorist speaks volumes. Therefore, the version that the man is related to the FSB does not seem fantastic. Sergei’s classmates also report this.
However, the media that write a lot about this tragedy carefully avoid this topic. And suddenly, quite unexpectedly, the topic of homosexuality came up in one of the materials of the same “MK”. Allegedly, Sergei rudely stated his suspicions regarding the teacher, while expressing strong homophobic views. (The teacher was married, his death orphaned two small children).
“Just yesterday it was vaguely said that the father of the guy who shot the teacher and the security guard works for the FSB, he himself took his son to the shooting range and taught him to shoot, and took him hunting, because he was an avid hunter. Today from the dad from the authorities and the trace not left. In the updated versions there is a story about the great role of the father in the fact that the son repented and gave up, and was generally in a state of passion, but the young geography teacher - there’s something wrong with him, sir, and maybe even a homosexual, MK writes about him, adding that he still loved his wife and children very much. But since the guy suspected something was wrong, it means... there is no smoke without fire... the child... and his noble father ... Does anyone know who the dad is?" - asks journalist Olga Romanova.
Meanwhile, the ill-fated school No. 263 was closed on Tuesday, investigators were working there, and students will return to their homes only on Wednesday, February 5.
