A man made his way into the nursing home and started shooting around, the newspaper writes Join us. Among the dead are five residents of the nursing home and one employee. Five people were killed on the spot, while one died in hospital following the shooting. Another six people are injured, according to the police.

The local television station N1 says that the alleged perpetrator was born in 1973 and that he fought in the war in Croatia in the period 1991-1995. According to local media, one of the residents killed is his mother, who had lived at the home for the past ten years.
