Old man shoots 13 people dead in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's health officials said 13 people have been killed when a man went on a shooting spree in a village near Belgrade.

 

Belgrade emergency hospital spokeswoman Nada Macura said the 60-year-old gunman identified only as Ljubisa B. used killed six men, six women and a child. The motives of the Tuesday shooting were not immediately given.

 

Macura said the man also tried to kill himself and his wife, who both remain severely injured. Another person was also injured.

 

The apparently random killings happened in the village of Velika Ivanca, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Belgrade.

 

Macura said that the killer was apparently not a deranged person.

 

Police are investigating.
