                      Two Killed in Moscow School Shooting

   In an incident rare for Russia, a rifle-wielding Moscow high-school
   student shot and killed his geography teacher and a police officer and
   took more than 20 of his classmates hostage Monday.
   The student, identified as Sergei Gordeyev, shot and seriously wounded
   another police officer. Moscow police chief Anatoly Yakunin said the
   suspect surrendered and was taken into custody after his father talked
   to him, first by telephone and then in person.
   Russian Investigative Committee spokesman said Gordeyev, described as
   an excellent student, may have suffered an "emotional breakdown."
   President Vladimir Putin referred to the incident Monday, telling a
   meeting of a presidential council on culture and the arts in the
   northwestern Russian city Pskov that "the new generation of audiences
   needs to be raised with good artistic taste and the ability to
   understand and value the theatrical, dramatic and musical arts."
   "And if this was done as it should be in our country," Mr. Putin added,
   "then maybe there would not be tragedies like the tragedy in Moscow
   today."
