4 May 2023 Serbia shootings
Mass shootings are rare in Serbia and the rest of the Balkans. In the 21st century there were previously four mass shootings: the Jabukovac killings in which nine people were killed, the 2013 Velika Ivanča shooting in which 14 people were killed, the 2016 Žitište shooting in which five people were killed and the Belgrade school shooting that happened the day before, in which nine people were killed, leading the government to propose stricter gun laws.
