A teenager opened fire this morning in the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in central Belgrade killing eight students, a history teacher and a security guard who tried to stop the massacre.
K.K. (age 14), a pupil of Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary, took his father’s gun, entered the school around 8:00 am and first shot his history teacher along with several students in the history class.
The boy was arrested in the schoolyard, police said, adding that he used his father’s gun in the incident.
Officers said they received a call about the shooting at around 8.40 am local time.
Local media footage from the scene showed a commotion outside the school as police removed the suspect, whose head was covered as officers led him to a car parked in the street.
Milan Milosevic, the father of one of the pupils at the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in the Serbian capital, said his daughter was in the class where the gun was fired.
“She managed to escape. (The boy) …first shot the teacher and then he started shooting randomly,” Milosevic told broadcaster N1.
Seven students have been operated on and are in stable condition, while one girl is in critical condition.
According to the interviewed students, K.K. was an exemplary student with excellent grades. Students also say that he was quiet and reserved.
The motive for the shooting is still being investigated.
