Two children were among at least 12 people killed in a mass shooting that started at a restaurant in the small town of Cetinje in Montenegro and continued at three different locations, authorities said.
A local man suspected of carrying out the shootings, identified by police as Aleksandar Martinovic, 45, was confirmed to have died early on Thursday morning after turning the gun on himself and dying from his injuries while being transported to hospital.
Police had cordoned off the suspect near his house in Cetinje. According to the police chief of this country, Lazar Scepanovic, when ordered by police to lay down his weapon, he shot himself in the head. An attempt was made to transport him to a clinical centre, but he succumbed to his injuries in the meantime,” he added.
In a post on social media to confirm that the suspected gunman has died, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajic said the mass killing had “shrouded our country in black”. This senseless act has caused immeasurable sadness and bitterness in us. There are no words of comfort,” Spajic said.
