Five Killed In Croatia Nursing Home Shooting
A gunman opened fire in a nursing home in Croatia on Monday, killing at least five people, state media reported, in a rare instance of gun violence in the Balkan country.
At least five were killed and several others wounded during the shooting, HRT said.
The outlet said the alleged suspect then fled but was later arrested by police.
Croatian newspaper, Jutarnji list described the alleged shooter as a “war veteran” who killed his mother along with other residents and staff.
Croatia fought a war of independence during the breakup of Yugoslavia from 1991 to 1995.
Shootings in the Balkan country are rare.
Last year in neighbouring Serbia, the country was rocked by back-to-back mass shootings, including a massacre at a school in the capital in Belgrade in which 10 people were killed.
