Hundreds of people are laying flowers and lighting candles to commemorate the victims of Serbia’s first-ever school shooting a year ago that left nine children and a school guard dead and six people wounded
Hundreds of people laid flowers and lit candles on Friday to commemorate the victims of Serbia's first-ever school shooting a year ago that left nine children and a school guard dead and six people wounded. A somber, silent queue formed on a rainy day outside the Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School in central Belgrade where a 13-year-old boy is accused of opening fire at his schoolmates with his father's guns last year. The shooting stunned Serbia.
Ninela Radicevic, a mother of a victim, told the AP ahead of the anniversary that society and the government had “rushed to forget” the tragedy. Radicevic, who lost her 11-year-old daughter Ana Bozovic in the shooting, said Serbia should have paused to see how such a horrific crime could have happened. The slain children’s parents have fought to have the school closed and turned into a memorial center.
