The attack began around 5:30 PM local time, targeting a restaurant where the shooter first argued with guests. He tragically shot family members, including his own relatives, along with the owner's children aged 10 and 13, before continuing the assault at other locations. Authorities noted that Martinović had been heavily intoxicated prior to the shooting. Emergency services worked tirelessly to transport four seriously injured individuals to hospitals. The Prime Minister has promised a review of public safety measures, including discussions on potential restrictions on weapon ownership, in response to this senseless act of violence. Mass shootings are quite rare in Montenegro, with a similar incident occurring in 2022.
