On 26 April 2022, three people were killed in a mass shooting at a kindergarten in Veshkayma, Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia.

The attack occurred after a man entered the kindergarten with a gun (identified by some media outlets as an IZh-27)[1]. Reportedly walking into a classroom as the children were having their naptime,[2] he opened fire, hitting several people. Three people were killed, including one staff member and two children. Another staff member was wounded.[3] RIA Novosti said that the two children had been born in 2016 and 2018.[2] After the shooting, the man then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.[4]

The National Guard of Russia said that the firearm used by the perpetrator was obtained under the name of another person, who had not given consent to the shooter to use it.[5]
