SHOOTING IN SERBIAN SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY
On Wednesday, a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns to open fire in Vladislav Ribnikar primary school, killing eight school children and a guard.
The shooting left six children and a teacher injured and hospitalized, with one boy in critical condition due to spinal injuries and a girl in serious condition after being shot in the head.
The incident sparked calls for gun control in Serbia. The shooter, identified as Kosta Kecmanovic, was apprehended by the police and did not give any motive for his actions.
He first shot dead the guard and three students in the hallway before killing a teacher and more students in a history classroom. When he was apprehended, he told police that he was a “psychopath who needs to calm down.”
