[RSS] Belgrade shooting: Boy, 13, ‘made horror movie kill list before gunning down eight kids’ in Serbia school attack

Post by RSS »

A TEENAGER allegedly made a horror “kill list” before gunning down eight kids at his school, police said. The straight A student, 13, allegedly went armed with two guns, four petrol bombs and a “hit-list” of pupils he wanted to kill in the bloody rampage in Belgrade, Serbia.

Police identified the shooter as Kosta Kecmanovic, a student at the Vladislav Ribnikar school. The 13-year-old, who was reportedly considered one of the most talented children in the school, is the son of a well-known radiologist. The student was reportedly furious that his history teacher had marked his test paper too low for him to pass. Police said the 13-year-old suspect was armed with four Molotov cocktails and used his dad’s gun in the horror rampage in Belgrade. The suspect’s father and mother have been detained. Serbia’s minister of interior Bratislav Gasic said the gun used in the attack was legal, but the father claims in was locked in a safe that his son knew the code to. Kecmanovic was arrested in the school yard, cops said. The 13-year-old was reportedly calm when arrested, telling police: “I am a psychopath.” He can’t face criminal charges because he is under 14, the Belgrade prosecutor’s office said. The student had been planning the attack for a month and took a chilling hand-written “hit-list” with him, which contained details about how to enter each classroom and and which children to “liquidate”, police said. Chief of Belgrade police Veselin Milic said the plans looked “like a video game or a horror movie”. Authorities said they received a call about the shooting in the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school around 8.40am local time (7.40am GMT). One student from the school, who has not been named, told Serbian media that the 13-year-old got a poor mark in History and “then he went crazy.” They added: “He shot the history teacher (T. S.) in the office, and then also his friends.” The student said that he always had top marks, adding that “we all call him a nerd.” It is understood the shooter killed a security guard and three girls before breaking into a history class and gunning down five more youngsters, reports Telegraf Serbia. Local media footage from the scene showed commotion outside the school as police removed the suspect, whose head was covered as officers led him to a car parked in the street. According to local news outlet Alo, a backpack with three Molotov cocktails and another firearm were found in classroom following the attack. The victims included a girl with French citizenship, French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre said. She provided no other details. Milan Milosevic, who said his daughter was in a history class when the shooting took place, told N1 television that he rushed out when he heard what had happened. He said: “I asked where is my child but no one could tell me anything at first. “Then she called and we found out she was out.” Milosevic said his daughter told him how the shooter first fired at the teacher, then the children who frantically ducked under their desks. She said he was a quiet boy and a good student. Unlike in the United States, mass shootings in Serbia and in the wider Balkan region are extremely rare; none were reported at schools in recent years. In the last mass shooting, a Balkan war veteran in 2013 killed 13 people in a central Serbian village. Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic, who addressed the nation, said: “Today is one of the toughest days in Serbia’s modern history. “Unfortunately, Serbia is united in grief.” ImageGettyPolice officers at the scene[/caption] ImageAFPAmbulances and police officers at the scene[/caption] ImageReutersPolice officers standing guard following the horror attack[/caption]
