DARUVAR, Croatia (AP) — Croatian police say a gunman entered a nursing home in a quiet Croatian town on Monday and opened fire, killing six people including his mother. Croatia’s prime minister says the victims were mostly in their 80s and 90s. Five of the dead were residents and one was an employee. Police say the suspect fled but was caught in a nearby cafe. Croatia’s president is calling for “even more rigorous control of gun ownership.” Local reports say the suspect was born in 1973 and was a former policeman who took part in the 1991-95 war in Croatia.
