On 3 February 2014, a school shooting occurred at School No. 263 in the Otradnoye District of Moscow, Russia. 15-year-old pupil Sergey Gordeyev, armed with a rifle, killed his geography teacher and held his classmates as hostages, before opening fire on first responders who arrived at the scene, killing a policeman and severely wounding a patrolman. In the following negotiations led by the perpetrator's father, the teenager released the hostages and was detained. In September 2014, when the trial for the shooting case began in the Moscow's Butyrsky District Court, Gordeyev's defence team asserted that he was insane, and the state prosecution concurred. On March 3, 2015, the court sent Gordeyev to compulsory psychiatric treatment. Despite the opposition from the victims' defence, the Moscow City Court declared in August 2015 that the decision was lawful.
