Russian police are hunting for a suspect involved in a mass shooting in the city of Belgorod.

The alleged shooter, Sergei Pomazun, shot six people dead, including two teenage girls, after robbing a hunting shop.

Pomazun fled the scene in a stolen BMW that was later found abandoned.

The suspect, who is believed to be in his 30s, is said to have entered the hunting store and opened fire, killing three staff members.

RT reported that amateur video shows bodies laying on the pavement outside the store indicating that he killed people as he made his escape.
