A man in Montenegro’s central city went on a shooting rampage after a family dispute today, killing 11 people before being shot dead in a gun battle with police, the country’s public broadcaster said.
State TV RTCG reported that the 34-year-old gunman wounded another six people, including a policeman, in Cetinje’s Medovina neighbourhood near the seat of the former royal government.
Cetinje is 22 miles west of Podgorica, the current capital of the small Balkan nation.
The incident marks the deadliest shooting in the Adriatic nation in decades.

Four of the wounded were taken to hospital in Cetinje while two others with serious wounds were sent to the Clinical Centre in Podgorica.
Police shot the gunman after he fired at police officers and the site of the attack was subsequently blocked off by police.
