Boy stabbed to death in Russian school attack (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

RT has obtained bodycam video allegedly filmed by the attacker

An 11-year-old boy has been stabbed to death at a school in Moscow Region in an attack allegedly carried out by an elder pupil, authorities have said. RT has obtained footage of the incident, which was reportedly shot by the attacker.

The alleged assailant, a 15-year-old student at the same school in the town of Gorky-2, appeared to have prepared for the attack by putting on tactical-style clothing and arming himself in a washroom, the footage shows.

The video depicts him walking through school corridors, making disparaging remarks about himself and appearing to search for a particular classroom. He was later confronted by a security guard, whom he sprayed with pepper spray and stabbed, before chasing a younger student and stabbing him several times, according to the footage.

Local authorities said the victim died at the scene and confirmed that the suspect was detained. The video shown by RT had been shared among students and was obtained from the family of a pupil. The footage ends shortly after the stabbings. RT is publishing a redacted version of the video, edited for ethical considerations.

Photos shared by Russian media purportedly show the knifeman and his gear, including a helmet with white supremacist, anti-Semetic, and Islamophobic slogans in Russian and English. In the video he can be heard asking a class about their ethnicity.

Among the slogans on the helmet was a quote from the perpetrator of the 2015 massacre at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. He also wore a black vest with the nihilistic slogan “No Lives Matter.”
