Police director: Motive for shooting spree unknown Veljovic confirmed that 12 people died instantly, while another perished at the Emergency Center in Belgrade. "We have never seen a tragedy like this in Serbia, and for that reason a motive must be ascertained - what prompted this man to kill so many people in their sleep," the top MUP official told reporters. He specified that all the victims were killed with using a CZ-88 pistol, and that they were the shooter's relatives who lived in five nearby homes. The youngest of the victims was only two years old. Both his parents were also killed. "Most likely the murders would have continued had a police patrol that arrived at the scene not prevented him, in a way," Velkovic said of the suspected killer. Namely, Ljubisa B. shot himself in the head when he saw the police officers. Veljovic further revealed that the man did not have a police record, and that he fought in the war in Slavonia in 1991. The police have no information about any previous mental illness, Veljovic said. Belgrade City Assembly Aleksandar Antic offered his condolences to the families of the victims. "We are in contact with the prime minister and the first deputy prime minister, and we will reach a decision during the day on determining a day of mourning," Antic said.
