Dec 2019

Media reports in Russia say that an unidentified person opened fire from a Kalashnikov assault rifle near the headquarters of the Federal Security Service (FSB) in Moscow on December 19.

The shooting reportedly took place in a parking area and police cordoned the area.

There were conflicting reports about the number of casualties.

The Izvestia newspaper reports that three people were killed in the shooting.

Another Russian daily, RBC, quoted a source in the Moscow police as saying that one person might have been shot dead in the incident that took place near the Kuznetsky Bridge not far from Lubyanka Square.
