Shootings that are unimaginable in Serbia, where a new atrocity occurred yesterday night. At least two gunshots took place close to the city of Mladenovac, which is located around 60 kilometers south of Belgrade's center. The Serbian media said that a young guy, age 21, opened fire and was afterwards apprehended by police.
The interior minister of Serbia mentioned a terrorist incident. Aleksandar Vulin, the director of the BIA intelligence agency, and Health Minister Danica Grujii visited the injured patients in the hospital; 7 of the total 13 are in severe condition. A police officer and his sister would also be among the victims. The youthful massacre's insanity, according to the Serbian tabloid Blic, would have actually resulted from a pointless altercation in a school's courtyard.
The 21-year-old who repeatedly shot is accused of shooting random targets with an automatic pistol. Over 600 police officers participated in the manhunt, which lasted all night yesterday. Drones and helicopters also helped. Around 150 kilometers south of Belgrade, in the vicinity of Kragujevac, the murderer was found and apprehended. National mourning for the Belgrade school shooting has already been declared in Serbia, and it will last from today until Sunday.
Another murder occurred in Serbia two days ago, leaving nine people dead, including eight very young children, and seven more injured at the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in Belgrade. The youngster who started shooting at the institute's pupils in the center of Belgrade was in seventh grade. a 14-year-old who made use of a father's stolen weapon. The young guy entered the classroom and opened fire on the students, wounding the instructor. In an effort to halt the assailant, a school janitor was also slain. The cops arrived on the scene and quickly apprehended the 14-year-old in the school's courtyard.
The events in the past 48 hours in Serbia unavoidably bring to mind the numerous school shootings in the US. But mass shootings were quite uncommon in Serbia. When a veteran of the Balkan conflict opened fire in a hamlet in central Serbia in 2013, it was the most recent mass murder. Thirteen people were killed. Despite the strong rules that should restrict their circulation, it must be acknowledged that guns are widely available in the Balkan nation.
