At least 11 people were killed, including two children, in a deadly mass shooting in Montenegro's southern city of Cetinje on Friday, according to state media RTCG. According to Montenegrin Police Chief Zoran Branin, the suspected shooter first attacked a family that was living in his house as tenants. "He killed two children, 8 and 11 years old, using a hunting rifle, and injured their mother, who later succumbed to her wounds in a medical facility," Branin said. "He then went out in the street and used the same rifle to shoot other residents of this settlement." A witness told RTCG that the shooter "indiscriminately shot people as he walked through the street." Authorities say they have identified the attacker -- said to be a 34-year-old man -- and that his rampage was brought to an end when he was shot dead by a civilian. The head of Clinical Center of Montenegro Ljiljana Radulovic said that three of the injured victims are in the hospital in a critical condition. Montenegro's President Milo ukanovi tweeted on Friday that he was "deeply shaken" by the news. "I express my sincerest condolences to the bereaved families, to all those who lost their loved ones. All of us as a society must stand in solidarity with them in these difficult times," ukanovi said on Twitter.

Damn, I just got home from there last night. Mass shootings aren't common there at all

wtf

Ok I'm embarrassed to admit that even after studying European geography for a bit I've completely forgotten that Montenegro was a thing.

People forget the individual ex-yugoslavian states cause there's so many of them and they're all small, so I don't blame you

While mass shootings in America are a huge issue, gun violence has always existed in other places, especially due to gangs and cartels. Chances are whoever did this did it to send a message though considering acts of mass murder like this aren't as common and seemingly random as they are in America.

Scary. Montenegro has a serious gun problem that needs to be addressed.

MIASU for #2

Never pass on an opportunity when you see 11 people murdered to bash on America as if it is the only place with gun violence.

The chances of this being political are 0, no Americanism here.
