Gunman opens fire from rooftop in Russian Arctic city

"A gunman opened fire from the rooftop of a multistory building in central Murmansk late Sunday, prompting a rapid response from Russian law enforcement and National Guard units. The attacker, who appeared to be acting alone, barricaded himself with barbed wire and began shooting indiscriminately at nearby buildings and police vehicles.

Gunfire was first heard around 22:00 local time, according to residents of the northern Russian city. Eyewitnesses said the shooter fired at residential windows and law enforcement patrols before authorities cordoned off the area.
Special Forces and National Guard units quickly arrived on the scene, while Murmansk Region Governor Andrey Chibis urged residents to turn off their apartment lights and stay away from windows for safety.
The gunman was eventually “neutralized” after security forces stormed the rooftop. Investigators say the incident began when the suspect opened fire on a police patrol car. According to the Telegram channel Mash, the man made no demands prior to the attack." RT
