At least eight people have been killed after a gunman opened fire in a university in the Russian city of Perm on Monday morning.

The 18-year-old gunman, who is believed to have injured more than 10 others, was killed at the scene, according to reports.

The gunman had been identified as a student at the university, Russia's Investigative Committee, the agency that handles probes into major crimes, said.

Students and staff of the university locked themselves in the rooms, and the university urged those who could leave the campus to do so.

Students jumped from first-floor windows to escape the building, landing heavily on the ground before running to safety, local media video footage from the scene showed.

It wasn't immediately clear whether those reported wounded sustained injuries from the shooting or from trying to escape the building.

The unidentified perpetrator used a non-lethal gun, the Perm State University press service said. The university is located around 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) east of Moscow.

Russia has strict restrictions on civilian firearm ownership, but some categories of guns are available for purchase for hunting, self-defence or sport, once would-be owners have passed tests and met other requirements.

This is breaking story. We will update it as we know more.
