Budapest [Hungary], January 3: Authorities in Montenegro confirmed on Thursday that at least 12 people were killed, including two children, in the shooting rampage in the small town of Cetinje before the gunman killed himself.
Another four people suffered serious injuries, authorities said. Previous reports had spoken of 10 fatalities.
The government early on Thursday declared three days of national mourning for the victims of Wednesday's attack.
According to media reports, the 45-year-old suspect got into an argument with another guest in a bar. He then went home to fetch the firearm and returned to the pub to kill and injure several people.
When leaving the scene, he shot dead more people in different parts of the town, including the two children. The suspect then returned to his home where he shot himself in the head after police surrounded the house and called on him to surrender, said Montenegro's interim police chief Lazar Scepanovic during a press conference.
The man died in the ambulance on the way to hospital shortly before midnight, he added. According to the daily newspaper Vijesti, the suspect shot four people in the bar, then eight more in other parts of the city, among them children aged 10 and 13, as well as his own sister. (DPA)
