A school employee shot and killed three people in a town in northwestern Bosnia, police said. The shooter was severely injured after trying to kill himself.
The shooting took place at a secondary school in Sanski Most, about 300 kilometers northwest of Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo, said regional police spokesman Adnan Beganovic. The employee allegedly had a dispute with the school management, The Associated Press news agency said. Police are yet to provide a motive for the attack. Bosnian schools are closed for the summer holiday, but Beganovic said there were people in the school as repeat examinations were underway.
The victims included the school principal, a secretary and a teacher, said Beganovic.
Regional N1 television reported that the man had a dispute with school management. The Klix news portal said that an English language teacher was among the victims.
No other details were immediately available.
The Balkan region has been awash with small arms and weapons since the wars of the 1990s, which saw Yugoslavia break up, particularly in Bosnia, a country of about 3.5 million people. But mass shootings are rare.
