Eight people were killed and ten injured when they were shot this morning near the town of Mladenovac, about 60 kilometers from Belgrade, when an attacker fired automatic weapons, local media reported.
About 600 police officers from special forces are looking for the attacker, a 21-year-old man, Serbian public television RTS reports.
The Interior Minister, Bratislav Gasic, described the crime as “terrorist act”. This attack comes just two days after the Belgrade school shooting, when a 13-year-old boy shot nine people and wounded seven others.
According to unofficial information, the attacker got out of a car in which he was traveling alone and started shooting. According to Serbian media, the wanted suspect is the son of a soldier.
The attack took place in the village of Dubona, near Mladenovac. In three villages around Mladenovac, about 50 kilometers from Belgrade, police have cordoned off the area and are searching houses for the attacker.
The injured have been treated in different hospitals in Smederevo and Belgrade. Two of them, 21 and 23 years old, had surgery and his life is in danger.
