Assailant kills 6 people and wounds 6 others at a care home in central Croatia, officials say
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — An armed assailant entered a care home for older people in central Croatia Monday and opened fire, killing six people and wounding six others, police said.
Croatia’s police chief, Nikola Milina, said five people died immediately, while one more person died in a hospital. The suspect fled the scene, but the police soon caught him in a cafe near the facility in the town of Daruvar, he said.
The victims were five residents of the care home and one employee, Milina said.
Police said they were informed of the attack on Monday morning. The suspect is “under police supervision,” said a statement by the regional police office.
