"Some of them have been hospitalised with injuries of varying severity," it said in a statement.

It said the gunman, later identified as a student at the university, carried out the shooting with a hunting rifle he purchased earlier this year.

"During his arrest, he put up resistance and was wounded, after which he was taken to a medical facility," the statement said.

According to Russian news media, 19 of the wounded are being treated for gunshot wounds, according to the health ministry.

Amateur film allegedly recorded during the incident was presented by state television, showing a person clad in black tactical clothes, including a helmet, carrying a weapon, and strolling around the campus.&nbsp;

Due to strict security at educational establishments and the difficulty in obtaining firearms, school shootings have been relatively rare in Russia.

However, Monday's attack was the second this year, following a 19-year-old who opened fire in his old school in Kazan's capital city, murdering nine people in May.

Although the gunman had a neurological problem, investigators determined that he was qualified to obtain a licence for the semi-automatic shotgun he used in the attack.

Putin called for a review of gun restriction regulations on the day of the incident, which was one of the worst in recent Russian history.

The minimum age to purchase a hunting rifle was raised from 18 to 21 years old, and medical checks were tightened.
