Montenegro is reeling from a tragic shooting spree that left 12 dead, including two children, on Wednesday. The gunman, identified as Aco Martinovic, later took his own life.
The violent episode followed an altercation at a bar in Cetinje, where tension escalated to multiple killings across the town. Police response teams swiftly took action, blocking access routes and later finding the attacker, who succumbed to self-inflicted injuries.
Local and national leaders, shocked by the severity of the tragedy, have called for a reevaluation of gun laws amid concerns of Montenegro's prevalent gun culture. The government has declared three days of national mourning as investigations continue into the motive behind the attack.
