A GUNMAN suspected of shooting six people dead in the western Russian city of Belgorod has been captured after a massive manhunt last more than 24 hours, police say.
Convicted criminal Sergei Pomazun, 31, was shown on television pinned down by police who found him trying to board a freight train in Belgorod, close to the Ukrainian border, where the shootings took place.
"I didn't shoot children. I was shooting at hell," said the wild-eyed man lying face-down on the ground in handcuffs in a police video broadcast on Rossiya 1 channel.
He is believed to be the gunman who opened fire in a hunting store on Monday before going outside and shooting passersby in a central square, including two girls aged 14 and 16, who both died, before fleeing.
Pomazun stabbed a policeman during his capture late Tuesday. The police major was in intensive care in hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.
Investigators said that Pomazun took a hunting rifle belonging to his father which he used to shoot dead two staff and a customer in the hunting store.
He then took another gun from the store and shot at passersby who witnessed his getaway in his father's BMW.
Rossiya 24 television reported that Pomazun had carried out the shooting in apparent revenge after staff in the store earlier in the day had refused to sell him ammunition.
His parents had recently called police twice over their son's aggressive behaviour. He had several convictions and was last released from prison in 2012 after serving time for car theft.
His father had reportedly worked as a gamekeeper and Pomazun was familiar with guns. Izvestia daily reported that he killed his six victims with just six shots.
Around 2000 police, including riot police from Moscow, searched for the gunman in the city and the surrounding area, while townspeople piled flowers at the site of the murders.
Pomazun declined to give evidence to investigators. If convicted, he faces life in jail for mass murder.
