Serbia: Gunman Kills 13 In Shooting Spree

A gunman has killed 13 people, including his mother and son, as he went house to house on a shooting spree in Serbia, authorities have said.

The 60-year-old suspect, identified by police as Ljubisa Bogdanovic, allegedly opened fire at around 5am local time with a handgun in a village near the capital Belgrade.

Residents told reporters the gunman first killed his son before leaving his home and shooting his neighbours, some of whom were still asleep.

The victims in Velika Ivanca were six men, six women, and a two-year-old child.

Twelve were killed at the scene and one person died in a Belgrade hospital, police said.

The gunman also shot his wife before turning the gun on himself.

Police officers among those at the scene of the atrocity

Belgrade emergency hospital spokeswoman Nada Macura said the pair were both seriously injured and another person was also hurt in the attack, which lasted around half an hour.

Police are investigating the apparently random killings 30 miles southeast of the city.

Ms Macura said the suspect was not believed to have a history of mentally illness.

Although such apparently random shootings are rare in Serbia, weapons are readily available mostly from the war in the Balkans in the 1990s and there is a tradition of possessing firearms.

Initial reports said the alleged killer had a licence for the handgun used in the shootings.
