At least 19 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in a shooting at a college in Russian-annexed Crimea.

An 18-year-old student ran through the Kerch technical college firing at fellow pupils before killing himself, Russian investigators say.

Witnesses have also spoken of at least one blast caused by an unidentified explosive. The motive is unclear.

Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 in a move condemned by many Western powers.

The annexation marked the start of a simmering conflict involving Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine that goes on to this day.

What happened at the college?
There are contradictory reports about the chronology of the attack.

The alleged perpetrator, named Vladislav Roslyakov, is said to have run from room to room as he fired, starting in the area near the canteen. He then shot himself dead, Russia's investigative committee said.

Photos later emerged in Russian media purportedly showing the body of the attacker in the college library.

The investigative committee said initial examinations suggested all the victims died of gunshot wounds, but some reports speak of shrapnel injuries.

At the same time, Russia's law enforcement sources are quoted by local media as saying that the attacker had detonated a bomb in the canteen before starting shooting.

Soon after reports of a blast in the college, investigators released a statement saying an explosive device filled with "metal objects" had detonated in the dining area.

Several witnesses maintain they heard one or more explosions.

Investigators later said they found a second device among the personal possessions of the gunman and that it had been disarmed.

BBC Russian has been speaking to witnesses, including Igor Zakharevsky, who was in the canteen when the gunman struck.

"I was at the epicentre of the first explosion, at the entrance, near the buffet," he said.

"I was in complete shock and one of my classmates started pulling me away. Then I heard several shots at intervals of two or three seconds. After a while there was another explosion."

A businessman near the college described hearing an explosion and seeing a large window shatter.

The incident was earlier described as a "terrorist act", but Russia's investigative committee has now reclassified it as "mass murder".

President Vladimir Putin said the attack was a "tragic event" and expressed condolences to the victims' relatives.

Three days of mourning in Crimea have been declared from Thursday.

so this is interesting. I am actually currently working on developing a Sensor Based Artificial Intelligence operations and security system for schools in the United States. After our original market research we kind of wrote other countries off. I need to do some research on these other countries I guess.

If they don't bite on the first sell, add Artificial Intelligence to the list of buzzwords.

Well I think Ai isn't a buzzword I think your looking more for "call in the next 30 minutes" or the Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Meh... AI is right up there with blockchain.

What can AI and blockchain do for you!!!

I might go set up a company right now called BlockchainAI... bet I can get investors just because of that awesome name.

Chit... it's already taken.

lol well if you said you have AI you actually have to have Ai and thats the hardest part. Which Ai is the future. I think more Buzzwords in that category would be like Machine Learning and Internet of Things. Anyhow blockchain I'm with you. That da*n Crypto market needs to rebound but my hope is small.

Btw does anyone even know exactly what blockchain even is? lmao pretty sure its made up

Ya, I know what it is...

It's a cruel crypto system that requires distributed brute force to verify transactions and collectively burns more energy than all of us right wing v8 driving climate deniers combined.

Yet, it's hip and it's cool because the lefty fascists in tech industry say it is, therefore the lowly leftists blindly agree and keep shunning us for our v8s and guns... because that's what they're told to do.

It's the anti-fascist way.

(FYI, you're in the political forum).

This is an interesting point of view. I never thought of the left being pro crypto. Let alone if there is a large amount of mining in the United States that consumes that much energy. I always though that Crypto was more focused in the European area of Holland and Switzerland where most of the mining and data bases are kept. Let alone most Americans mine by the use of community miners on their phones or computers. However, I could be wrong as I don't have the greatest knowledge of the crypto market other than the ridiculous amounts of currencies and the Asian dropout we incurred over the last year.
