An active-shooter situation is reportedly underway on the campus of a university in the Russian city of Perm. Footage purportedly taken at the scene showed people escaping from a building through windows.

The incident was reported at Perm State University, one of the oldest universities in the Urals. At least four people have been injured, media reported, citing university authorities.

The university’s social media alerted everyone who is currently on campus to leave if possible, or lock themselves inside a room. The message told people on their way to the campus to immediately turn back.

A video published on social media apparently taken at the scene showed people escaping through the windows of a two-storey building.

Another video taken from inside the building appears to show an armed person dressed in black slowly walking across the campus as horrified people express their shock.
