In brief
In a devastating incident that shook the Balkan nation of Montenegro, a gunman killed at least 10 individuals, including two children, after a bar altercation in the city of Cetinje. The suspect, identified as Aco Martinovic, was found dead from a self-inflicted wound after a manhunt was initiated. The government has declared three days of mourning, urging cities to halt celebrations and performances. Officials emphasize the urgent need for stricter firearm regulations, as the country faces its second mass shooting in just three years, raising concerns over its high rate of gun ownership.
Montenegro's President expressed the nation’s collective grief, stating, “Instead of holiday joy, we have been gripped by sadness over the loss of innocent lives.”
