’My coat was covered in blood’: Moscow concert attack survivors describe ordeal

Concert hall rampage survivor says attackers were ‘gunning down everyone methodically in silence’ Gunmen who killed over 130 people at a Moscow concert hall on Friday did so in a calculated and methodical manner, a survivor of the assault said. “There were five or six of them, they were just walking and just shooting like this. They did not shoot upwards, they did not scream, they did not say ‘Everyone lay down, we will kill you’ and etc. They were just walking and gunning down everyone methodically in silence. Sound was echoing and we could not understand what was where,” Anastasia Rodionova told an interviewer. Ms Rodionova also recalled how discovering her coat covered in blood made her realise how fortunate she was to have escaped the attack: “It is unbelievable. You understand only now that you are lucky, really lucky. I came home, my coat was just covered in blood. Apparently someone shielded me (with his body). There were people running behind me. And they were effectively covering me. Me, my relatives and those who were running next to me.” Read your updates here: #russia #moscow #shooting #news Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
