A Russian court convicted 19 people Thursday in connection with a deadly shooting at a Moscow concert hall in 2024. 15 were sentenced to life in prison, including the four gunmen and 11 accomplices. The others received 19 to 22 years each. Authorities say the gunmen were citizens of Tajikistan who opened fire at a rock concert before setting the building on fire.

All told, 149 people were killed, more than 600 injured in the country’s worst such attack in two decades. A branch of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack.
