Vladislav Ribnikar primary school in Belgrade was the scene of a shooting on Wednesday that left at least nine people dead, eight of whom are believed to be minors and one adult, apparently a security guard. A 14-year-old seventh grade student reportedly shot his high school classmates and staff. Fifteen people were also injured in the attack, several of them in critical condition, according to the newspaper ‘Blic’. The mayor of the central district of Vracar, Milan Nedeljkovic, has indicated that a teacher is fighting for her life in the hospital. The police arrested the suspect and warned of the discovery of a backpack containing a weapon and bottles with flammable liquid. According to a statement from the Ministry of Education of Serbia, an investigation has been opened because “the revolver apparently belonged to the attacker’s father”. “First he shot the teacher and then he started shooting randomly,” a student who was in the class told the N1 station. His classmates describe the gunman as a quiet boy and a good student, who just started school. “He got very good grades in everything, so we called him a nerd,” said one student. In addition, he had attended a birthday party the day before, where he had apparently behaved normally.
