Artem Kazantsev, 34, is a very sick man.
On Monday, he rolled into a Russian school to hold a tribute to the horrific Columbine shooting that took place in Colorado in 1999.
His tribute was opening fire and mowing down 15 people, including 11 children, as well as injuring another two dozen people, most of those being children as well.
Sickening…
Kazantsev was reportedly dressed all in black, with a swastika drawn in red on his clothing.
On his weapons, he had written “Columbine” in English on one, while the other had “Eric” and “Dylan.”
On the magazines for his pistol, he had written the word “hatred” in red.
Kazantsev was reportedly a psychiatric patient, so there are some questions regarding why he was even on the street in the first place.
While the ages of the dead and wounded children were not released, the school where the attack took place teaches children from grades one through 11.
Russia’s Investigative Committee stated, “Checks are being made into his adherence to neo-fascist views and Nazi ideology.
“Currently investigators … are conducting a search of his residence and studying the personality of the attacker, his views and surrounding milieu.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added, “President [Vladimir ] Putin deeply mourns deaths of people and children in the school, where a terrorist act took place.
“The president expressed his deepest condolences to all those who lost their loved ones, their children in this tragic incident, and wished the soonest recovery to those wounded in the inhumane terrorist attack.”
