Belgrade, 16 May 2023 (dpa/MIA) — A girl became the 10th victim of the Serbian school massacre on Monday as doctors were unable to save her life despite two weeks in intensive care, state television RTS reported, citing the Ministry of Health.
On May 3, the girl suffered gunshot wounds to the head after a 13-year-old classmate shot dead classmates and a guard at an elementary school in the inner city district of Vracar.
He initially killed eight children and a security guard. Other pupils and a teacher suffered injuries.
Minister of Health Danica Grujučić expressed her condolences to the family of the injured girl.
The perpetrator was arrested by police, but is not yet of legal age in Serbia so cannot be held criminally responsibile.
