The other wounded students were reportedly named Andrey V and Maria R, both 13.

A grandmother of one of the wounded girls said: "He went into the classroom, sat there for a while, came out with a gun, an axe, a knife - and this is what happened.

"How did they let him into the school? I don't understand. It's just horrible."
