The attack was carried out on the second and third floors. Two other housemates were on the ground floor of the home and were not injured, police said.
Moscow police responded to a report of an "unconscious person" at the address around 11:58 a.m., but several people had gathered at the scene when police arrived, authorities said.
The 911 call "came from inside the apartment" and was from the cell phones of one of the surviving roommates, police said. Several people reportedly spoke to the dispatcher before officers arrived.
