‘Terror attack’: Man arrested in Serbian parliament shooting, fire

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.
 
OMG, this is so not what we need rn 🤯... I mean, I get that people are unhappy with the current gov't, but an air rifle attack? That's just crazy 😳... One person injured and a whole lot of panic - it could've been way worse.

I'm trying to see both sides here, though. People have legitimate concerns about the economy and all that, so maybe this guy was just trying to make a point in a really extreme way 🤔. But at the same time, setting fire to a tent and shooting people? That's not a peaceful protest, dude 🚫...

I hope the authorities can figure out what happened and provide some closure for the family of that person who got hurt 💔. This whole situation is just so concerning...
 
just saw this news about serbia and i gotta say its super worrying 🤕 the fact that someone had to resort to violence like this just to express their dissent is just a reminder that we still got a long way to go in terms of promoting peaceful protest methods 🙏 its not cool that vucics supporters are being so aggressive towards anyone who doesnt agree with them, its all about exercising your right to free speech and assembly but without resorting to harm 💥 i hope the police can get to the bottom of this and bring some justice to the people who were affected by this attack 🤞
 
OMG, this is so sad 🤕! Can't believe someone would resort to violence like that. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, even though I knew these protests were getting intense. The fact that there was a tent fire and then shooting... it's just crazy! 🚒😱

And what really gets me is that this guy acted alone, but the whole situation just highlights how divided our societies can get. I mean, we should be able to have differing opinions without resorting to violence or harming others. It's like, can't we find a way to resolve conflicts peacefully? 🤝💖

Anyway, hope the injured person recovers soon and that this guy gets the help he needs... because what he did was NOT okay 😔👮‍♂️

🤔 just read about this crazy incident in Belgrade... it's so sad that someone got hurt like that. I mean, protesting is a right, but not when it turns violent like this 🚒 fire was out of control, lucky no one worse got hurt. the fact that the suspect acted alone kinda raises questions though... what led them to do something like this? was it just a desperate attempt to be heard or something more? anyway, hope the person injured gets well soon 💕
 
🤔 just saw that crazy news about Belgrade... like what even is goin on there? 🚨 can't believe someone went all out like that against a pro-Vucic camp 😱

so it looks like this guy set up a small fire, started some panic, and then went all air rifle wild 🔫🔴 i mean, i get that people are upset but... how do you even take out someone with an air rifle? 🤷‍♂️ seems kinda sketchy to me

anyway, the cops took this guy down, and they're still tryin to figure out why he did it... i hope whoever's behind these protests starts listenin' 😊 maybe just talkin' things through instead of resortin' to violence 🔊
 
😬 just saw this news and i'm so worried about that poor person who got hurt... a shooting and fire breaking out outside parliament in belgrade is crazy 🤯 i mean, it's like something from a movie or a game, not real life 😩 the fact that some guy acted alone with an air rifle is really concerning 🚫 what if he had gotten away with it? the protests have been going on for months and it's getting more intense by the day 💥 i hope police can figure out who did this and why, but also make sure everyone involved gets the help they need 🤞
 
🤕 Man, this whole thing in Belgrade is getting crazy! I mean, I get it, people are really upset with President Vucic and his government, but an air rifle? That's just ridiculous. The fact that the suspect set up a small fire near a pro-government camp before opening fire shows just how desperate and unhinged some of these protesters have become.

It's like they're giving their opposition a free pass to escalate things. And now one innocent person gets hurt... it's a tragedy, plain and simple. I hope the police get to the bottom of this and find out what really drove this guy to commit such an act. The fact that his motives are linked to protests against Vucic is just icing on the cake - it highlights how divisive politics can be.

We need some calm heads in Belgrade right now, you know? This kind of violence is never going to solve anything. It's like, what's next, throwing Molotovs at each other or something? 😬 The economy might be struggling, but that doesn't give anyone the right to resort to this kind of extreme behavior.
