An armed man killed at least four people and wounded four others on Wednesday in the western Montenegrin city of Cetinje, police and local media said. The shooter was on the run.
Police dispatched special troops to search for the attacker in Cetinje, some 30km (18 miles) northwest of the capital, Podgorica.
A statement said the man opened fire in a bar and fled the scene armed. Police identified him only by his initials “AM” and said he was 45 years old.
Police said there were at least four fatalities while the state RTCG television and other Montenegrin media reported that seven people were killed and that the shooting followed a bar brawl.
Montenegro’s Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic said “a number of people were killed”, including the bar owner and his family members, as well as the shooter’s family members – but did not give a definitive death toll.
President Jakov Milatovic said he was “shocked and stunned” by the tragedy.
