According to the authorities of the city of Kerch, in the Black Sea, at least 42 of the wounded remain hospitalized, six of them in critical condition, where the attack occurred on Wednesday.



An 18-year-old student, Vladislav Rosylakov, has been identified by the police as the attacker. RussiaAuthorities said Roslyakov acted alone at the school, but on Thursday, Crimean leader Sergey Aksyonov said he believed the student should have received help to prepare for the attack.



"At the university he acted alone, but the task is to establish who prepared him for this crime," Aksyonov told reporters at the scene of the attack. "From my point of view, he could not have carried out such prepared events."

Investigators are still trying to establish Roslyakov's motive and suggested that they are treating him as a shooting at a school similar to those that have plagued the United States. It was not clear to what extent the Russian police shared Aksyonov's assessment.



Russian authorities initially thought the shooting at the school was a terrorist attack, before it was reclassified as "mass murder" after Roslyakov was identified. The security images showed him entering the Kerch Polytechnic College, where he was a fourth-year student armed with a 12-gauge bomb-action shotgun and bags that the police said were full of homemade grenades.



According to witnesses, Roslyakov began throwing the explosives into the classroom and opened fire. Police said a bomb filled with metal objects that was planted at the school also detonated. Roslyakov committed suicide at school after police arrived about 10 to 15 minutes later, police said.



The precise details of the attack remain unclear. Some accounts described a large bomb that exploded, while others only described shots and grenades. The images of the scene published in the Russian media showed a bag found in the school filled with what appear to be improvised explosives. Russia's National Anti-Terrorist Committee said it had deactivated a second bomb at the school on Wednesday.



Russian health miner Veronika Skvortsova said most of the people who died were shot dead, but doctors had also been removing metal objects from injured people because of what she said was a powerful bomb.



"The children's muscles are all 'chopped', basically with small pieces of metal," Skvortsova told reporters in Kerch, "We have found nuts and metal balls in the liver, viscera and blood vessels of those whose Internal organs were broken, this is how powerful the explosion was, "he said, saying others had lost lower extremities.



Friends and relatives of Rolyakov, speaking with Russian and foreign media, have described him as a calm and isolated young man with a worried background, fascinated by weapons.



Russia's leading state newspaper Izvestia quoted a source close to the investigation as saying that Roslyakov's father had told police during the interrogation that his son had recently interrupted contact with one of his few close friends and that He had been aware of his son's interest in weapons.



Firearms laws are strict in Russia and civilians are only allowed to possess hunting rifles and smooth-bore shotguns, and must undergo a background check. Roslyakov obtained his weapons license about two months ago, local officials said. The images of the security cameras transmitted by the Russian channel Ren-TV, showed him buying shotgun cartridges in the store four days before the shooting.

The ordinary Russians and the authorities are struggling to accept the attack in a part of the world where school shootings are virtually unknown. People in Crimea and in a war memorial dedicated to Kerch near the Kremlin in Moscow have placed red mourning flowers and soft toys in makeshift sanctuaries.



However, the consequences of the shooting are also developing in the unusual political context of Crimea. Russia took control of Crimea in 2014 using unmarked troops and has since periodically accused Ukraine of sending saboteurs to blow up infrastructure on the peninsula.



Some in Russia suggested that the Kerch attack may have ties to Ukraine, although there is no evidence so far.



In one of Russia's leading newspapers, Kommersant, anonymous security officials said investigators were examining whether Roslyakov had ties to nationalist groups in Ukraine, referring to another case in which Russian prosecutors reported that a young Ukrainian, Pavel Grib, He tried to persuade a Russian teenager in Sochi to plant a bomb in her school.



However, officials seem to be dealing mostly with a phenomenon very familiar in the United States, but almost unknown in Russia: shootings in schools en masse.



The attack on Wednesday was the deadliest violence in a Russian school since the terrorist attack in Beslan in 2004, when 333 people, many children, died after Chechen fighters seized a school.



In Crimea, officials said they would review security measures in schools. On Thursday, the armed riot police were temporarily deployed to protect all schools in the peninsula.



At a forum in Sochi, President Vladimir Putin told the audience that Kerch's shooting was the "result of globalization."



"It all started with those tragic events in American schools," Putin said. "Young people with unstable minds create false heroes for themselves, it means that we are not creating the necessary and interesting content for young people, they only have this substitute heroism and that leads to this type of tragedy."
