On the somber anniversary of Serbia's first-ever school shooting, hundreds of people gathered at Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School in central Belgrade to honor the nine children and a school guard who lost their lives in the tragic incident. The shooting, carried out by a 13-year-old boy with his father's guns, shocked the nation, where mass shootings are rare.
Following the school shooting, another tragic incident occurred just a day later when a 20-year-old man went on a shooting rampage outside the capital, resulting in the deaths of nine individuals and injuries to 12 others.
