"I extend my deep condolences to the relatives of those killed and injured. We will provide all the necessary assistance to them. I promise that we will certainly look into why such an incident has become possible in an educational institution," Orlov wrote on Instagram.
A conflict between classmates was presumably the reason behind the tragic incident in the Far Eastern city's college of construction and utilities.
A student of an agricultural college, which is located nearby, told Sputnik that the perpetrator had been bullied.
"He used to be abused in the group ... He started the shooting on the street," the student, who has mutual acquaintances with the attacker, said.
The area around the two colleges is currently cordoned off. Police, ambulance, fire fighters and the special unit of the National Guard have arrived.
