10 killed in shooting in Montenegro

At least ten people, including two minors, were shot dead by a gunman who opened fire inside a restaurant in a southern village, Montenegro’s interior minister said on Wednesday night. Danilo Saranovic told reporters that the gunman “took the lives of at least ten people, including two minors from the Vuletić family,” who own the restaurant where the shooting took place in the village of Pajes, near the town of Cetinje.

Vijesti TV said earlier that a fight broke out in the afternoon before the shooting, adding that the suspect was still at large, Reuters reported.

Montenegrin police sent special units to the area and urged people to stay indoors. The Montenegrin Police Directorate said in a statement: ‘All available police units are on the ground and conducting activities within their jurisdiction’ to apprehend the suspect.
