Serbia's Interior Ministry said Wednesday that a 14-year-old student opened fire at a school in Belgrade, killing eight children and a security guard, while injuring six more children and a teacher. Photo by Andrej Cukic/EPA-EFE May 3 (UPI) -- Serbian authorities said that a 14-year-old boy suspected of killing eight classmates and a security officer at his school in Belgrade Wednesday morning had planned the attack for "a long time."

Seven girls and one boy were among those killed in the rampage at Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School in the upscale Belgrade section of Vracar. One of the six children who were injured is in critical condition after being shot in the head and chest. A teacher was seriously wounded in the attack as well.

"[The suspect] planned the execution in this criminal offense for a long period of time," said Belgrade Police Chief Veselin Miljic said, who added that a motive is not yet known.

Authorities also arrested the suspect's father on Wednesday. Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic said the father had previously gone to a shooting range with his son. One of the two weapons the suspect had on him belonged to his father.

Authorities also confirmed that the suspect called the police himself after the shooting and waited for authorities to arrive and arrest him.

Serbia's Minister of Education Branko Ruzic said there will be three days of mourning for the victims starting May 7.

Officials received reports of a shooting at Vladislav Ribnikar in Belgrade at 8:30 a.m. local time as police responded and found the alleged shooter, a seventh-grade student at the school, in the schoolyard and arrested him.

The Interior Ministry said that police were still on the scene working to collect facts in the case.

False flag! EVERYBODY knows that kind of action only happens in gun fueled rampages in US schools.

NRA and American gun owners fault or the Dung Beetle Party and its “media” toadies responsible for causing a “copycat” killing in Belgrade? Just asking for a friend. A 13 year old killing 8 of his fellow students. Something is horribly wrong in the schools teaching the younger generations. I believe this can also be pinned on the global communist party.

The article I read early said the shooter was 13. Serbia has one hell of a “gun culture” over there. They need a “buy back” program and a bunch of ditzy, “Mommies Against Out of Control and Unsupervised Guns.”

Since they don’t identify the father by name, what are the chances it is something like Achmed or Mohammed?

That’s right! And everybody knows this shooting in Serbia is Donald Trump’s and the NRA’s fault.

I fig’ger they’ll say the 14 year old was emboldened by all the school shootings in the US, so that way we’re still to blame.

Not long after the Nashville school shooting, there was a shooting at a school in Brazil which left 4 children dead. That got no attention in the US media.
