MOSCOW, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Russian law enforcers said Tuesday they had found the body of a young man after he shot dead three people the previous day at a bus stop in central Russia's Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The 18-year-old Nizhny Novgorod resident was visiting relatives in the village of Bolsheorlovskoye and fired several shots randomly at local residents, the regional branch of the Russian Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The suspect's body was found in Bolsheorlovskoye with evidence of suicide, the Russian Investigative Committee said in a separate statement, adding that the suspect had been hunting with his father the day before the killings.

Three people were also injured in the incident, including the suspect's grandmother.

A criminal investigation is currently underway, according to both statements, though the suspect's motives are so far unknown. Enditem
