Video of people escaping Kazan shooting via windows

A Kazan citizen filmed children jumping out of school windows and fleeing a school shooting in Russia on Tuesday.

Students could be seen jumping out of a top floor window, others running across the field.

"Someone is shooting there. Girls, God, what's happening?" Elmira Ishkhakova said as she filmed from across the street.

The gunman opened fire in the school and also detonated a homemade bomb.

In addition to the seven students and two employees who died, another 23 people remained hospitalized from the attack at the school, which enrolls children from the 1st to 11th grades.

Investigators gave no motive as to why Ilnaz Galyaviyev, 19, carried out the attack at his former school.

He appeared in court Wednesday, charged with murder, and was ordered to pre-trial detention for two months.

Officials said he legally owned a firearm.

Attacks on schools are rare in Russia. The deadliest school attack in Russia took place in 2004 in the city of Beslan, when Islamic militants took more than 1,000 people hostage for several days. The siege ended in gunfire and explosions, leaving 334 dead, more than half of them children.
