Pskov standoff and double suicide
By Seeker
Denis Olegovich Muravyov and Katerina Alekseevna Vlasova were two 15-year-olds from Pskov, Russia, who were involved in an armed standoff with police in Strugi Krasnye, an urban locality about 87 kilometers northeast of Pskov, on the afternoon of 14 November 2016. The two had barricaded themselves in a house after running away from home three days earlier and were being searched by police, who were fired upon when they arrived at the house; the standoff ended when both teenagers committed suicide. The event was livestreamed on Periscope by the perpetrators, who called themselves the "Russian Bonnie and Clyde", and thus caused a wide resonance and discussion on social media.
