The suspect, a war veteran, enters a private nursing home in Daruvar, killing six in a rare instance of gun violence in the Balkan country.
A gunman has entered a private nursing home in northwestern Croatia and shot dead five people, including his mother, and injured six others, a government minister says.
One of the people wounded on Monday later died in hospital, taking the death toll to six, while four remained in critical condition, Marin Piletic, minister for labour, the pension system, families and social policy, told reporters.
One of the victims was a nursing home employee, the minister said.
“According to the information we have, the mother of the killer had been in the nursing home for 10 years,” Piletic said.
Authorities have given no motive for the attack.
