Shooting in Croatian nursing home

A tragic shooting at a retirement home in Daruvar, Croatia, resulted in the deaths of six individuals, including the shooter’s mother and four other residents, with several others injured. The suspect, a 51-year-old former military policeman identified as K.P., reportedly entered the facility around 10:10 AM and opened fire before fleeing, only to be arrested shortly thereafter at a nearby café. Croatian authorities, including Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and President Zoran Milanovic, expressed deep condolences and emphasized the need for improved violence prevention measures, including stricter gun control. The motive for the attack remains unclear, though local media speculate a possible familial connection to the victims. The police confirmed that the shooter did not possess a gun permit and had been under surveillance prior to the incident. This unprecedented act of violence has shocked the local community and raised urgent questions regarding safety in care facilities.
