On May 11, at 9:30 a.m., two unidentified men appeared in gymnasium 175 with a grenade and a firearm. After entering the school, one of the gunmen opened fire in the school building. As a result of the shooting, six eighth-graders and a 25-year-old English teacher were killed. Later, two more students died saving themselves. They jumped from the fourth floor of the gymnasium and fell to their deaths. Another 16 people were taken to the hospital in serious condition.
One of the killers was nineteen-year-old Ilnaz Galyaviev. He himself graduated from high school almost 4 years ago, after which he studied in college. The graduate’s teachers refer to him as a “non-confrontational, but unsociable” student. On April 26, Galyaviev was expelled from the school.
When Galyaviev was arrested and taken to the police station. During the interrogation, he behaves insanely, hysterically shouting phrases about “that he is God”, and that he hates everyone here:
“I didn’t realize, I was God right away, about two months ago. And in the summer, I started to wake up a monster, specifically. I started hating everyone. I’ve always hated everyone, and I’ve started to hate them even more. Do not dare to attribute to me any psychic or psychological game, ” — the terrorist replies during the interrogation.
The police officer asks the killer a question: “When two months ago you realized that you are God, did you realize it yourself, or did someone tell you that?”. Here is what the detainee replied:
“No one told me, I myself realized two months ago that I was God. This is the first time I’ve said this to my mom. I don’t have a mother, I just call her “You”, she’s not my mother. I don’t have any parents, I hate you all. I don’t have a mother. The woman who gave birth to me is not my mother. There is no mom or dad — l have never called them that.”
