Suggest coverage for 2012 Moscow shootingOn the morning of 7 November 2012, Dmitry Vinogradov entered a Rigla pharmaceutical warehouse on Chermanskaya Street in northeast Moscow with two shotguns and opened fire on colleagues. Five people died at the scene, a sixth died later in hospital, and one other person was injured.
A colleague subdued Vinogradov, and security staff detained him until police arrived. Investigators said he had planned the attack for months and had trained at a shooting range. He also posted hostile writing online shortly before the attack; the case record does not treat that material as justification for the killings.
Court-ordered evaluators found Vinogradov legally sane, while also documenting depression and an unstable mental state. On 9 September 2013, a Moscow court sentenced him to life imprisonment, ordered compensation for victims’ families, and required compulsory treatment. He was later transferred to a maximum-security prison.
According to an investigator, Dmitry Vinogradov began planning the shooting spree.
Vinogradov opened fire at a Rigla pharmaceutical company warehouse on Chermanskaya Street in northeast Moscow, killing five people and injuring two others before being subdued by a colleague and detained by security guards.
One of the injured victims died overnight in intensive care, raising the death toll to six.
Vinogradov apologized in court, stating he had 'no other choice.'
Vinogradov was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to pay damages to victims' families.
Vinogradov was placed in the White Swan maximum-security prison.
