The alleged perpetrator is believed to be a former employee of the school.
ADVERTISEMENTAt least three teachers at a school in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been killed during a meeting after a gunman, suspected to be the school’s former janitor, opened fire in the building with an automatic rifle.
Reports state that the shooting took place at the Sanski Most Gymnasium secondary school in northwest Bosnia at about 10:15 local time. Another person was reportedly seriously injured in the attack and taken to hospital.
The deceased have been identified as school director Nijaz Halilović, English teacher Gordana Midžan and Nisveta Kljunić, according to local reports, and police investigations are ongoing.
Regional N1 television reported that the alleged suspect had a dispute with the school management. It said he opened fire at the school’s director and other employees before attempting to kill himself.
No other details were immediately available. Bosnian schools are closed for the summer holiday, which means no classes were being held at the time of the shooting.
