A gunman has killed at least 10 people, including two children, in southern Montenegro and is still at large, police say.
At least some of the deaths happened inside a restaurant in the Cetinje area, before the suspect reportedly moved to other locations.
A verbal argument between guests preceded the shooting, a police official was quoted as saying by public broadcaster RTCG.
Prime Minister Milojko Spajic described the shooting as a “terrible tragedy” and his government declared three days of national mourning from Thursday.
The gunman killed members of his own family, two of the restaurant owner’s children and also the owner, according to Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic.
Mr Saranovic called the incident a “consequence of disturbed interpersonal relations”, according to AFP news agency.
Four people are in a life-threatening condition in hospital after being seriously wounded in the shooting, the agency reported the prime minister as saying.
The suspect had previously been arrested for weapons possession, Reuters news agency reports.
Mass shootings are comparatively rare in the small Balkan nation.
