At least four people met their deaths with another four injured in a horrifying gun attack in the western Montenegrin city of Cetinje.
Though the shooter absconded the scene after the attack, special forces were dispatched to hunt him down in Cetinje, located roughly18 miles northwest of the capital, Podgorica.
Police said they have only identified the suspect by his initials, A.M, and revealed he is 45 years old. The man reportedly opened fire in a bar before fleeing the scene armed. While police confirmed at least four fatalities, state RTCG television and other Montenegrin media reported that seven people were killed following a bar brawl.
Montenegro's Prime Minister Milojko Spajic visited the hospital where the wounded are being treated and declared three days of mourning. He did not specify the number of victims but expressed his shock over the incident, stating: "This is a terrible tragedy that has affected us all," and added, "All police teams are out."
Montenegro, a small country with a population of around 620,000, is known for its gun culture, with many residents traditionally owning weapons. This marks the second shooting rampage in Cetinje, Montenegro's historic capital, in the past three years.
