A man wounded in the New Year's Day mass shooting in Montenegro has died, raising the death toll to 13. The January 1 shooting occurred in the western town of Cetinje after a bar brawl. A 45-year-old local man killed 12 people in multiple locations before taking his own life. The victims included two children. Four people were wounded, including Dejan Kokotovic, born in 1985, who died on Thursday. This rampage marks the second mass shooting in less than three years in Cetinje .
In August 2022, a man killed 10 people before being shot dead by a passerby. The shootings have heightened concerns about the level of violence in Montenegrin society, which is politically divided. The Montenegrin government has pledged to implement measures to curb the widespread illegal possession of weapons in the Balkan nation of around 620,000 people. The Adriatic Sea nation has a deeply-rooted gun culture. State television broadcaster RTCG reported that Montenegro ranks sixth globally in terms of the number of illegal weapons per capita. Thousands have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of top security officials over the mass shootings. They accuse the authorities of failing to enhance security between the two Cetinje shootings
