This happened at the same time a Russian school was being shot up, allegedly in retaliation for conscription.

A chief recruitment officer was severely wounded after a man opened fire at a military recruitment center in the town of Ust-Ilimsk in Irkutsk Region in Russia’s Siberia on Monday morning, the local authorities have said. There were no other casualties in the attack, they added.

The incident occurred amid partial mobilization in Russia, which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. According to Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, 300,000 reservists are going to be drafted amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

A video has allegedly captured the perpetrator shooting chief enlistment officer Aleksandr Eliseyev from point blank as the victim was delivering a speech before the recruits. The gunman then shouted: “Everybody out,” with all the people who were in the room rushing outside in a panic.

“We came to the recruitment center and handed out papers. The chief recruitment officer took us to the conference room and began speaking about the situation in the country. That’s when the gunman jumped up from his seat; after that he shot at the officer,” one of the witnesses recalled, adding that at least two shots were fired.

Maybe it’s not suspicious.

Some people are afraid to go to war.

There are also reports of riots in Dagestan.
