Police and local media said that a gunman killed at least ten people, including two children, in a shooting and wounded four others in the city of Cetinje in Montenegro after a quarrel in a restaurant.

Police identified the perpetrator of the attack, who died of his wounds late Wednesday after attempting suicide.

Saranovic told a state television station that the man, identified by police as Aleksandar Martinovic (45 years old), attempted suicide near his home in the town of Cetinje and died of his wounds while being taken to hospital.

A police statement stated that the gunman opened fire in a restaurant and fled the scene of the crime with a weapon.
