The Alarabiya English reported, Russian local authorities told AFP that an armed man opened fire in a kindergarten Tuesday (Apr 26) in Russia’s central Ulyanovsk region, leaving at least four people dead.

The head of the Ulyanovsk region information department, Dmitry Kamal, told AFP: "According to preliminary information there was a shooting in a kindergarten. As a result, two children, a teacher and the attacker died."

He said investigators were working at the scene to establish further information. Kamal said that the ages of the dead children were not known, but they would be between three and six years old.

A source in law enforcement told news agency TASS that the shooting may have been the result of a “domestic conflict.”

According to Telegram channel Baza -- which is known to have sources in Russian law enforcement -- the man walked into the kindergarten during nap time with an Izh-27 double-barreled shotgun. There was no guard on duty.

RIA Novosti news agency reported that lawmaker Sergei Morozov, a former governor of the region, said a young teacher was killed and another injured in the attack, while the two killed children were born in 2016 and 2018.
