A gunman killed at least 10 people in a rampage across the Montenegrin town of Cetinje before dying from self-inflicted injuries. Police say the suspect, 45-year-old Aleksandar Martinovic, had an ISIS flag on his truck and appeared to be targeting as many people as possible.
A gunman has killed at least 10 people in a rampage on a small town in Montenegro , police 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.
Authorities say the truck driver, who killed 10 people and injured dozens more when he tried to 'run over as many people as he possibly could', had an ISIS flag attached to his truck. 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.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 enforcement. Police urged people to remain inside their homes and video showed police officers cordoning off a neighbourhood where lamp posts were adorned with festive light
