A manhunt is underway after a gunman killed five people in a shooting at a hunting shop in the southwest Russian city of Belgorod.
Interfax news agency reported the gunman walked into the shop and fired shots, killing three staff.
He then killed two more people on the street outside before getting into a BMW and driving off. One other person was also injured.
The vehicle was later found abandoned in the southwestern Russian city, close to the Ukraine border.

The Moscow-based Investigative Committee said in a statement it had identified the suspect, adding the gunman was a resident of Belgorod and had been released from prison in 2012.
The area around the shooting scene has been cordoned off by police.
