Ukraine-Russia war latest: Boy, 12, among injured after Moscow-born gunman kills six in Kyiv supermarket attack

Eight people, including a 12-year-old child, remain hospitalised in Kyiv after being wounded in a shooting that killed six people, mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Sunday.

Special forces swooped on a supermarket in Holosiivskyi district on Saturday, shooting dead a 58-year-old suspect barricaded inside with hostages following a deadly rampage through the streets.

Fourteen people were injured in the attack, and one person later succumbed to their wounds.

Klitschko said the wounded child, whose parents were killed in the shooting, was in moderate condition, while one of the adults was in critical condition.

Doctors treated six people at the scene, including an infant who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning after the attacker set a nearby building alight, according to the Kyiv Independent.

Ukraine’s security service said the mass shooting was being investigated as a “terrorist act”. Authorities were still trying to establish a motive.
