Police attended the scene where a suspect was arrested on Friday, 5 May, after the second mass shooting in Serbia in a week.

Eight people died and at least 14 were injured after a gunman fired an automatic weapon in a suspected drive-by attack near Dubona, south of Belgrade, late on Thursday.

A suspect, identified by authorities by the initials UB, was arrested early on Friday near Kragujevac, 60 miles south of Belgrade.

It is the nation's second mass shooting in as many days.

Thursday night's incident comes after a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns to kill eight fellow students and a guard at a school in Belgrade before calling the police and being arrested.

Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic described Thursday’s drive-by shootings as “a terrorist act" in comments cited by Serbian media.
