MOSCOW—Authorities on the Crimean Peninsula were searching for a possible accomplice of the student who carried out a shooting and bomb attack on a vocational school, killing 20 people and wounding more than 50 others, an official said on Oct. 18.
An 18-year-old student, who later killed himself, was initially believed to be the only one to have been involved in the carnage at the Kerch Polytechnic College on Oct. 17. Authorities haven’t provided a motive for the shooting, and teachers and classmates described the attacker as a shy man who had few friends.
