A gunman opened fire in a Cetinje bar, killing at least four and injuring others, prompting a manhunt by special forces in the area
Cetinje: A shocking incident unfolded in the western Montenegrin city. A gunman opened fire in a bar, killing at least four people and injuring several others. It’s a real tragedy that has shaken the community.
The shooter is still on the loose, and special forces are out there trying to find him. Cetinje is about 18 miles northwest of the capital, Podgorica, so they’re really ramping up the search.
Authorities have only identified the suspect by his initials, A. M., and he’s 45 years old. Reports say he started shooting after a brawl broke out in the bar before he fled the scene.
While police have confirmed four deaths, some local media suggest the number could be as high as seven. It’s all pretty chaotic right now, and everyone is on edge.
Montenegro’s Prime Minister, Milojko Spajic, visited the hospital where the injured are being treated. He expressed deep sorrow over the situation and announced a three-day mourning period.
It’s been revealed that the shooter, Aco Martinovic, had a history of unpredictable behavior and had been caught with illegal firearms before. He’s not someone you’d want to mess with.
RTCG even shared a photo of him, claiming he went home to grab his gun before returning to the bar to cause this horror. It’s just unbelievable.
After the bar incident, he moved to another location where he took the lives of the bar owner’s children and a woman. Authorities are urging residents to stay calm and indoors, dismissing any rumors about gang involvement.
This kind of violence is rare in Montenegro, a small country with a population of around 620,000. But it’s known for its gun culture, and this isn’t the first time Cetinje has seen such violence. Just last year, a shooter killed ten people, including children, before being stopped by a bystander.
