MOSCOW, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed and two others injured in a shooting at a college in Anapa, a city in southern Russia's Krasnodar region, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Wednesday.

Russia's Interior Ministry directorate for the region said earlier that a student had opened fire in the lobby of the college. A security guard was killed, while two other people suffered moderate injuries.

"Regarding the situation in Anapa, I am receiving ongoing updates about the incident. As it stands, one security guard has been killed who was targeted first but acted quickly to call the police. He prevented the attacker from advancing further into the building," the governor said on his Telegram.

The shooter has been detained, and Russia's Investigative Committee has launched a criminal investigation into the attack.
