BELGRADE: A man shot dead five people, including his wife, and injured another 20 in a cafe in northern Serbia on Saturday, police said, with jealousy the suspected motive. The man “entered the cafe and opened fire with an automatic rifle, killing his wife and another woman, then he continued to shoot at other citizens in the cafe,” a police statement said. It was the third mass shooting in recent years in Serbia, which has tried to shrink the large number of illegal weapons in circulation since the 1990s Balkan wars. Police arrested the alleged shooter, born in 1978 and identified only by his initials Z.S., and opened a probe into the killings.
