Serbian police today arrested a suspect gunman who killed eight people and injured 14 others near the capital Belgrade last night – a day after a 13-year-old boy went on a killing spree at his school.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old suspect, identified only by his initials U.B., opened fire from a moving car on Thursday night, shooting his victims at random one by one as he drove through three villages, local media report.<\/p>\n
An off-duty policeman and his sister were among those killed in the mass shooting near the town of Mladenovac, 26 miles south of Belgrade, reports state broadcaster RTS.<\/p>\n
The gunman was arrested near the central town of Kragujevac, 60 miles south of Belgrade, after more than 600 officers launched a huge night-long manhunt.<\/p>\n
The mass shooting comes on the heels of the worst school shooting in Serbia’s recent history, after Kosta Kecmanovic, 13, shot dead nine people, including eight fellow students, and injured seven at a school in Belgrade before turning himself in on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
