A tragic school shooting in Belgrade on Wednesday, May 3 left eight students and a security guard dead, with the suspected 13-year-old gunman allegedly using his father's two handguns to carry out the pre-planned attack, police say. 
Six other pupils and a teacher were hospitalized, some with life-threatening injuries. The young suspected attacker, who will be placed in a psychiatric institution due to being below Serbia's age of criminal responsibility, surrendered to the police after the shooting.
The devastating event has prompted Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic to announce stricter #guncontrol measures, including a moratorium on new gun licenses, revisions of existing permits, and increased surveillance of shooting ranges and civilian weapon storage.
#Serbia has a high rate of #gun ownership, with many #firearms still unaccounted for since the #Balkan wars of the 1990s. In 2018, the country ranked third globally for the number of firearms per 100 people.
