At least six people were killed and more than a dozen hurt in a mass shooting in Kyiv, with Ukrainian authorities killing the suspect – who had barricaded himself inside a supermarket.

Bullets flew in the Ukrainian capital’s Holosiivskyi district, a central urban area, where four civilians were slain on the street, with one more killed inside the market where the suspect, identified as a 58-year-old Russian native, took hostages with an automatic weapon. The sixth victim was injured inside the market and died later at a hospital.

“He took hostages and, tragically, killed one of them. He shot dead four more people right on the street, and one more woman passed away in a hospital due to sustained injuries,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.

The Mayor of Kyiv revealed the shooter was killed by cops during the supermarket-standoff.

“The shooter in Kyiv was liquidated during the ‌arrest,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app Saturday.

“Special forces of the…national police stormed the store where the attacker was. ⁠He took people hostage and shot at a policeman during his detention. Before ⁠that, negotiators tried to contact him,” the statement concluded.

The weapon was registered and purchased legally, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing Ukrainian officials.

Fourteen victims were being treated at area hospitals, with that number expected to rise, according to Zelenskyy.

The youngest victim was identified as a 12-year-old boy.

The identities of the victims have not been released.

The suspect lived in the contested Donetsk region of Ukraine, and has previously been convicted of crimes, the Ukrainian president announced.

Before the attack, the suspect set fire to an apartment, he reported.

“All available information about him and the motives behind his actions is being thoroughly investigated. Every detail must be verified,” Zelenskyy said.
