Parents of physical education students complain about the level of security at the school
Parents of students at Ufa Gymnasium No. 16, where today's shooting occurred, claim that the building is in fact not equipped with a proper security system. According to them, the agency only employed two security officers – a man and an elderly woman, who allegedly fell asleep while on duty and did not control the entrance to the building or the purpose of the visits.
According to parents, last week, on Friday, a new contract was signed for security services at gymnasium number 16. The cost of the contract was almost 163 thousand rubles for the work of a security guard, who, according to the interlocutors, did not really fulfill his duties.
In addition, last year, the director of the arena Marina Kamalova was prosecuted for administrative liability and fined 30 thousand rubles for not having a control station and anti-howling device at the entrance to the building. Mash Batash reported that attempts to challenge this decision in court were unsuccessful – the court upheld the fine.
