BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Authorities say a gunman killed eight people and wounded 14 in two Serbian villages. The attack late Thursday shook a nation still in the throes of grief over a mass shooting at a school a day earlier. Police on Friday arrested a suspect in the latest shooting after an all-night search. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has called the shooting an attack on the nation. He says the suspect wore a T-shirt bearing a pro-Nazi slogan but didn’t specify a motive. On Wednesday, a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns to kill eight students and a guard at a school in Serbia’s capital. The back-to-back bloodshed sent shock waves through a country scarred by wars, but unused to mass murders.
