Belgrade, Serbia - A shooting and fire broke out outside Serbia's parliament in Belgrade on Tuesday, injuring a supporter of President Aleksandar Vucic. The 70-year-old suspect acted alone after setting a tent ablaze near a pro-government encampment amid year-long anti-Vucic protests.
According to police, the suspect had set up a small fire in front of the pro-government camp at the parliament complex before opening fire with an air rifle, striking one person and causing widespread panic. Vucic's supporters had been occupying the area for months as part of a protest against his government.
Police have taken the suspect into custody and are investigating the motives behind the attack. The motive is believed to be linked to the ongoing protests, which have been fueled by discontent over Vucic's handling of the economy and other issues.
