Iran Press/ Europe: At least eight people have been killed and 13 injured after a gunman in a moving car opened fire on passers-by in a town south of the Serbian capital and went on the run.
The incident took place late on Thursday near the town of Mladenovac, some 50km (30 miles) south of Belgrade, according to state television.
The 21-year-old attacker used an automatic weapon to shoot randomly at people, the RTS report said, saying police were still looking for the suspect who fled after the attack.
Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic called the shooting “a terrorist act”, the report said.
Ambulances, as well as special police and helicopter units, have been sent to the area.
The Mladenovac attack comes as Serbia reels from a shooting rampage at a central Belgrade school in which a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns to kill eight of his schoolmates and a security guard. One of the dead children was a French citizen, the French foreign ministry said.
