Russian Teens Shoot Themselves After Alleged Conflict with Parents

This happened on November 14th

Info from a news source:
A pair of 15-year-olds from a town near Pskov in northwest Russia who had gone on the run from their parents opened fire at a police car and then killed themselves, the Russian Investigative Committee has said.
“Two armed 15-year-old teens barricaded themselves in a house in the Strugy Krasnye settlement. Law-enforcement officers had been negotiating with them for several hours, however, all in vain. Later on the teenagers stopped responding,” the investigators’ statement says.

The Russian Special Police Force officers engaged in the storming of the house said that they didn’t open fire during the operation, the press service of the Russian National Guard told TASS. Upon entering the house officials found two bodies “with gunshot wounds.” Russian Special Police Force officers said that inside they also located an opened safe where with a sporting gun and ammunition. The boy and girl had “distinct signs of suicide,” they added.

Reports suggest that the teenagers were called Denis and Katerina. They streamed the shooting at the police van live via Periscope and posted a video on Instagram where Katerina is heard explaining in Russian that she fell out with her mother who didn’t allow her to have a sleepover at her friend’s place.

“We had a sleepover at my friend’s place. I wasn’t allowed to go, but I went anyway. They found me at night… It was harsh and it all happened in front of Denis and his mother. I ran away again,” Katerina said on the video.

The teens reportedly spent the next three days hiding from the parents at the house where the tragedy occurred on Monday.

The suicide apparently had been planned beforehand with Denis speaking on the video about the best ways to spend the last day of his life while aiming at the police car. Katerina left a farewell note on what seems to be her page on Russian social network VK.

“I loved all of you. But you didn’t notice how you ruined my mind and my life,” the note says.

In another post Katerina elaborated that she wasn’t taken hostage and that suicide was her “conscious choice.”

Following the incident, VK closed the comment section of the boy, while the page of the girl has restricted access due to privacy settings, the social network’s press secretary told RIA Novosti.

I read about this not longer after it happened. Didn't realise it was such a gruesome scene from the news report though.

Pathetic kids angry they never got there own way.

We were disciplined harsh at times but just had the huff in our bedroom, maybe tore a Red Hot Chili Peppers poster off the wall.

He is lucky he died and did just not incur severe facial injuries and live.

The mother didn't want daughter to sleep over with this boy, probably didn't want her daughter around this boy at all. He probably was homicidal and suicidal. The girl was just enamoured. Sure she left a suicide note, but he likely filled her head with stories of how romantic Romeo and Juliet were. So why did he say "last minutes of my life" and not "our lives"? Can't see her mouth, but his smile is like he's like giddy with the thought of her pulling the trigger on him. From the video, she's likely never shot a gun off in her life. I'm further speculating the mentality of an abusive relationship, rather than another guy, it is the mother; so if I can't have her, nobody will. Mother "ruined her life" -- Oh how HUGE the problems are at this tender age.

She did have a huge and immediate brain ejection, looks like it landed on her knee on the way to the floor.

I bet the parents wish they minded their own business. They clearly were dumb asses as parents. The results speak for themselves. I hope they suffer till they die for their stupidity.
