The horrifying incident, which took place on Monday evening, has sent shockwaves through the small Balkan nation.
Witnesses reported that the gunman, dressed in a military-style jacket, entered the stacking restaurant ‘Kod Pera’ around 8:30 PM local time and began shooting indiscriminately. The victims, who range in age from children to adults, were caught off guard in the popular dining spot, leaving a trail of devastation in the otherwise peaceful city.
