Eight people have died and ten have been injured when they were shot near the city of Mladenovac, about 60 kilometers from Belgrade, when an attacker fired automatic weapons this morning, local media reported.
Some 600 police officers from special units are looking for the attacker, a 21-year-old man, reports Serbian public television RTS.
