In some cases, there were reports of three deaths, including police officers and employees of the national security and security service. The offender has now been "neutralized".
The Echo Moskwy radio station spoke of shouts and shots at Lubyanka Square. The FSB headquarters is located there. Several videos on the Internet showed how people in panic fled from different perspectives.
