A gunman killed at least 12 people, including two children, in a shooting rampage in Cetinje, Montenegro, before taking his own life.
There was a mass shooting in Cetinje , Montenegro . A gunman killed at least 12 and injured 4 in an attack on multiple locations. Shock and dismay prevailed in Montenegro on Thursday after a gunman fatally shot 12 people, including two children, in a western town before killing himself. At least four others were wounded in the shooting rampage in Cetinje on Wednesday that followed a bar brawl, officials said. This was the second such incident in the town in the past three years.
Hundreds gathered on Thursday evening at the main square in Cetinje for a candlelight vigil in the memory of the victims. Police Commissioner Lazar epanovi described Wednesday's shooting as 'one of the biggest tragedies in the history of Montenegro.' He said at a news conference that the victims included seven men, three women and two children, born in 2011 and 2016. 'Most of the victims were people he knew, his closest friends and relatives,' including the shooter's sister, epanovi said. 'This criminal act wasn't planned or organized. It was unpredictable.' The shooter, identified as 45-year-old Aco Martinovi, killed the owner of the bar, the bar owner's children and his own family members, officials have said. The attacker, who first fled after the rampage, was later located and surrounded by police. He died after shooting himself in the head, police said.'I knew all of these people personally, also the attacker. I think when he did that, he was out of his mind,' said Vesko Miloevi, a retiree from Cetnje. 'What do I know, he went from place to place and killed people. Its a catastrophe.'Police had dispatched a special unit to search for the attacker in the town, which is located about 30 kilometers (18 miles) northwest of Podgorica, the country's capital. All roads in and out of Cetinje were blocked for hours as police swarmed the street
