The Spin

Narrative A

This tragic shooting was an isolated act of terrorism by a single actor who was very likely motivated by neo-Nazi ideology. More details will undoubtedly emerge as the investigation unfolds.

Narrative B

This appears to be a systemic, rather than an isolated problem. Once rare, school shootings in Russia have increased in recent years, including a tragic incident in Russian-occupied Crimea in 2018. Russian authorities would be wise to investigate why there’s been an uptick in this type of violence rather than viewing this shooting as an outlier.
