MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Serbia has begun a nationwide three-day mourning period for the victims of the Belgrade school shooting.
The shooting took place in a school in the Vrachar municipality in the center of the Serbian capital on Wednesday. Eight children and a guard were killed, while another six children and a teacher were wounded and transferred to an ambulance center and a children's hospital. A 14-year-old shooter was arrested and placed in a special unit of a psychiatric clinic.
Later, the Serbian police said that they had detained the 14-year-old teenager on suspicion of shooting at a school. The seventh-grader who had used his father's gun to commit the crime is thought to have been under the influence of drugs. He reportedly planned the attack a month in advance. The police said that he had a plan of the school building and a list of students he intended to kill.
