A gunman has killed 12 people, including two children, in the Balkan nation of Montenegro . The shooter, identified as a 45-year-old man, also died from injuries after attempting suicide following the shootings. Montenegro prime minister declared three days of mourning and said authorities would consider tightening gun laws.
A gunman has killed at least 12 people, including two children, in a rampage on a small town in Montenegro, officials say, one of the tiny Balkan nation's worst mass killings. A 45-year-old man, identified by police as Aleksandar Martinovic, died from injuries on Thursday after attempting suicide following the shootings, the country's interior minister Danilo Saranovic said. Martinovic opened fire at a restaurant in the town of Cetinje on Wednesday, where he killed four people. The shooter moved on to three other locations, gunning down a family member, two children and three other people, police said, with four more people suffering life-threatening injuries. The lone gunman suspected of killing 10 people in Montenegro is also dead, the country's interior minister said.Police had earlier deployed special teams and anti-terrorism units to find the gunman around Cetinje, a small valley town surrounded by rugged hills about 38 kilometres west of the Montenegrin capital Podgorica. Police director Lazar Scepanovic said the suspect was thought to have been drinking heavily before the shooting.Police said the shooting was not thought to be connected to organised crime.In 2022, also in Cetinje, 11 people, including two children and a gunman, were killed in a mass attack. Mr Spajic called the shootings a 'terrible tragedy' and declared three days of national mourning in the country of 605,000 people.'We are praying and hoping for the recovery of the wounded,' Mr Milatovic said in a statement. Cetinje was eerily quiet following the shootings, with its snow-covered streets empty except for law enforcemen
