At least one person has been killed and five wounded in a shooting at the headquarters of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in central Moscow, Russian media say.

A gunman who opened fire with an automatic weapon at the entrance of the building was killed by an armed officer, Interfax news agency reports.

Security forces cordoned off the area and moved bystanders into buildings.

The shooting came hours after President Putin's annual press conference.

The attack came on a holiday for Russian security personnel, and videos posted to social media reportedly show a man firing at the building indiscriminately with an assault rifle.

He went to the HQ of one of the most securely guarded govt buildings in the world for a shoot up?  Shocked  
I bet even their tea-and-biscuit ladies are armed!

A straightforward suicide by cop incident.

Would've been easier to just jump off a tall cliff but then he wouldn't have got any publicity.
