8 killed, 13 Injured in 2nd Mass shooting in Serbia in 48 Hrs

Another mass shooting incident occurred in Serbia less than 48 hours after a 13-year-old boy shot dead nine and injured seven at a school in Belgrade.

At least eight people were killed and 13 were wounded when a gunman in a moving car opened fire on passers-by in a town south of the Serbian capital. The incident took place late on Thursday near the town of Mladenovac, 50 km south of Belgrade. Police were searching for a 21-year-old suspect. He was on the run for hours before police arrested him early Friday.

Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic called the shooting “a terrorist act”.

The Mladenovac attack follows a shooting rampage at a central Belgrade school in which a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns to kill eight of his schoolmates and a security guard.

The last mass shooting in Serbia was in 2013 when a war veteran killed 13 people in a central Serbian village.
