A teenage boy opened fire early Wednesday in a school in central Belgrade, causing injuries, Serbian police said. Media reported that one person was killed.
Police said in a statement that they received a call about the shooting in the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school around 8:40 a.m. The suspect, a seventh grade student, was arrested, police said. The statement added that the boy apparently fired several shots from his father’s gun at a teacher, other students and the school guard.
Serbian media have reported that the guard was killed in the shooting and several students were injured, some seriously. Police gave no other details. Reports said terrified parents arrived to the school trying to find their children.
Local media footage from the scene showed commotion outside the school as police removed the suspect, whose head was covered as officers led him to a car parked in the street.
