Surveillance footage showed a man staggering towards the guards, the Russian embassy press attaché, Egor Kuropitnik said.

As he approached the perimeter of the embassy, an officer fired what could have been a warning shot, but the man continued to move towards the security. A second shot was fired and the man collapsed.

He did not appear to have been trying to scale the wall, Kuropitnik said.
