The mother of the gunman who authorities say massacred 20 students before killing himself at a college in Crimea reportedly tried to commit suicide after being told that her son was the armed suspect behind the attack.

Eighteen-year-old Vladislav Roslyakov took a shotgun and other homemade explosives to Kerch Polytechnic College in Russia-annexed Crimea where he triggered a mayhem before taking his own life in the college library.

His mother Galina Roslyakova, a nurse at Kerch Cancer Clinic where some of the victims were taken to, was among those who provided first aid. It is reported that she tried to take her own life after she found out what her son had allegedly done.
