On 11 February 2026, a student opened fire on several people at a technical college in Anapa, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. A security guard was killed while trying to stop the attacker and two others were injured.[2] The shooter, a 17-year-old student, was detained at the scene.[3]

Background

Around 1,500 students are enrolled at the Anapa Technical College's main campus. It provides degrees in fields like auto repair, nursing, advertising and programming.[4]

The shooting occurred amid a recent series of school attacks across Russia.[4]

Shooting

Twenty minutes before the attack, the shooter asked his friend if there was a lesson going on and how much people would be at the entrance.[5] After, he fired ten shots in the hallway and three on the street. He reloaded his gun six times during the attack and was wearing a vest containing ammunition.[6][7] A security guard seen him fire at an employee on the school's CCTV cameras. He immediately blocked the entrances, but was killed. He managed to press the panic button, call the National Guard and contact the second security post before dying. While the gunman was shooting the guard, a student in the hallway was also struck by gunfire.[8]

Victims

The security guard was identified as 55-year-old Nikolai Pavlovich.[9] The injured victims were identified as a 44 or 45-year-old librarian and a 17 or 18-year-old student.[10] The condition of the injured victims is reported to be moderate.[11] The student was discharged from the Anapa city hospital on February 20. The librarian was transferred to Krasnodar for treatment but is expected to return to Anapa for further treatment.[12]

Suspect

The suspect was identified as Ilya Orda, a 17-year-old student of the college.[10] The gun used in the shooting was suspected to be stolen from his grandfather. According to media reports, the attacker was a 17-year-old technical school student Ilya Orda majoring in vehicle repair and maintenance. According to acquaintances, he had no previous history of violent behavior.

It was reported that shortly before the attack, a post containing threats of violence was published on his Telegram profile . The account associated with him also posted materials related to previous attacks on educational institutions, specifically Perm State University, Kerch Polytechnic College massacre and Columbine High School massacre.

The version of a possible motive for the non-issuance of a diploma, which was circulating on social networks, has not received official confirmation.

Aftermath

A mobile mental health support center was set up for students, their parents and faculty at the college.[4] Security was strengthened at educational institutions across Krasnodar Krai following the shooting.[13] The family of the security guard who was killed received the Tigran Keosayan award.[9] A memorial for him was set up by the college where the shooting occurred.[14] He was buried at the Anapa City Cemetery on February 14.[15]

Investigation

Forensic experts recovered firearms, shell casings and ammunition from the scene.[16] A criminal case has been opened in connection with the attack.[10] A day after the attack, a friend of the perpetrator was arrested for allegedly convincing him to carry out the shooting. A criminal case was also filed against a 64-year-old relative who failed to secure the weapon.[17]
