Gunman kills 8 people in Serbia's second mass shooting in two days

A gunman apparently shooting at random killed eight people and wounded 14 in three Serbian villages, authorities said, shaking a nation still in the throes of grief over a mass shooting a day earlier. Police arrested a suspect on Friday after an all-night manhunt. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic called on Thursday's shooting an attack on the whole nation. It came a day after a 13-year-old boy used his father's guns to kill eight fellow students and a guard at a school in Belgrade, the capital. The bloodshed sent shockwaves through a Balkan nation scarred by wars, but unused to mass murders. Though Serbia is awash with weapons left over from the wars of the 1990s, Wednesday's shooting was the first at a school in the country's modern history. The last mass shooting before this week was in 2013, when a war veteran killed 13 people in a central Serbian village. Late Thursday, an attacker shot at people in three villages near Mladenovac, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the .

At least eight people were killed and 10 wounded late Thursday in a drive-by shooting in a town close to Belgrade, the second such mass killing in Serbia in two days, state television reported. The attacker used an automatic weapon to shoot randomly at people near the town of Mladenovac, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of the capital, the RTS report said early Friday. Police were looking for the 21-year-old suspect, who fled after the attack, the report said. No other details were immediately available, and police had not issued any statements. On Wednesday in Belgrade, a 13-year-old boy used his father's guns in a school shooting rampage that killed eight of his schoolmates and a school guard. The bloodshed sent shockwaves through the Balkan nation unused to such mass murders. Dozens of Serbian students, many wearing black and carrying flowers, paid silent homage Thursday to peers killed a day earlier. The students filled the streets around the school in central Belgrade as t

Gunmen attack major Shiite holy site in Iran; 15 killed, dozens injured

Gunmen opened fire on Wednesday at a major Shiite holy site in the southern city of Shiraz, killing at least 15 people and wounding dozens, according to state-run media. The official website of the judiciary says two gunmen were arrested and a third is on the run after the attack on the Shah Cheragh mosque. The state-run IRNA news agency reported the death toll and state TV said 40 people were wounded. The attack, which bore the hallmarks of Sunni extremists who have targeted the country's Shiite majority in the past, comes as Iran has been convulsed by over a month of anti-government demonstrations, the biggest challenge to the Islamic Republic in over a decade. Thousands of protesters poured into the streets of a northwestern city to mark the watershed 40 days since the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, whose tragedy sparked the protests. Deaths are commemorated in Shiite Islam as in many other traditions again 40 days later, typically with an outpouring of grief. In
