At least 10 people, including two children, were killed and four others were injured in a shooting on Wednesday that followed a bar brawl in the western Montenegrin city of Cetinje, The Associated Press reported, citing local officials.
The shooter remains at large.
Authorities identified the suspect as 45-year-old Aco Martinovic. Speaking at a news conference, Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic said Martinovic fatally shot the bar owner, the owner’s children, and members of his own family.
“At this moment, we are focused on arresting him,” Saranovic stated, according to AP.
Special police units have been deployed to search for the attacker in Cetinje, located approximately 30 kilometers northwest of Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica.
