Investigators believe the suspect was suffering from a nervous breakdown due to personal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attack happened at about 6:15 p.m. local time on Friday when the soldier, 20-year-old Ramil Shamsutdinov, used his service weapon to open fire at a military base in the town of Gorny in Zabaykalsky Krai. It&#8217;s a restricted area which is close to the borders with Mongolia and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;According to the investigation, at 6:15 p.m., Shamsutdinov shot service members of military unit 54160, killing two officers and six fellow service members,&#8221; Russia&#8217;s Investigative Committee said in a statement. Two other soldiers suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shamsutdinov was taken into custody on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigators said the shooting, which occurred during a changing of the guard, may have been motivated by personal problems. &#8220;Based on the preliminary data from the scene of the incident, the soldier&#8217;s actions could have been caused by a nervous breakdown over personal circumstances unrelated to his military service,&#8221; Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry told TASS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident marks the second mass shooting in Russia this week. Five people were killed on Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/2019\/10\/shootout-in-russia-leaves-5-dead-2-injured\/\">when a gun battle erupted<\/a> between residents in a rural area of southwest Russia.
