The two “repeated” mass crimes in Serbia are not the only mass shooting incidents in Europe
The two “repeat” mass crimes in Serbia in recent days have shocked Europe as armed mass murders are “commonplace” mainly in the US.
Two days ago, a 13-year-old killed eight of his classmates and a security guard at a school in Belgrade, while yesterday a 21-year-old shot and killed eight people in a village near Belgrade.
However, these tragic events are not the only mass shootings in Europe.
For example, the “massacre” of the far-right Breivik in Norway in July 2011 and the “Bataclan massacre” in Paris in November 2015 caused global shock.
