Five residents, including gunman’s mother, and one employee killed in shooting in town of Daruvar, say police
A gunman has opened fire in a nursing home in Croatia, killing at least six people, including his mother, officials have said.
Five residents and one employee were fatally injured when the gunman entered the private nursing home in Daruvar in north-east Croatia on Monday and began shooting, according to police, in a rare instance of gun violence in the Balkan country.
The gunman fled the scene and was later arrested at a cafe, where he was carrying unregistered firearms. The man had a police record for disturbing public order and domestic abuse, said the Croatian national police chief, Nikola Milina.
Officials first reported that five people had been killed during the shooting, but Milina confirmed a sixth victim had died after being taken to hospital.
