Eighteen pupils have been killed and at least 50 injured in a massacre at a school in Crimea today.

Vladislav Roslyakov, 18, walked into a school canteen and fired a gun, killing 17 students and then himself, officials said.

It is thought the teenager also set off a homemade nail-bomb in the canteen but that the device did not kill anyone. 

Terrified students ran and screamed during the attack on Kerch Polytechnic College where the shooter is thought to have studied.

One said: 'There was a guy with a gun and shooting everyone. I did not know what to do'. Another added: 'The walls were covered in blood, we climbed the fence to escape.'
