Russian media reports that two of the gunmen were killed, but one ran out onto the street, and then continued to exchange fire with officers.

As the Russian media reports Russian intelligence services have called the incident “an act of terrorism”.

“A shooting incident in central Moscow on Thursday evening may have been planned to coincide with a speech President Vladimir Putin was making to commemorate Russia’s day of the security services (FSB), a source close to the FSB told Reuters.” https://t.co/DMWWvrQ7UX
