After Two Mass Shootings in Two Days, Serbian President Calls for an 'Almost Total Disarmament' of the Country

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić has vowed to disarm his country following two mass shootings in two days.

“We will carry out an almost total disarmament of Serbia,” Vučić said, according to The Washington Post. “We must make a decision to confront this evil.”

Eight people were killed and 14 were injured on Thursday in shootings in two villages near Mladenovac, south of the Serbian capital of Belgrade. And the day before, a 13-year-old boy opened fire in his school in Belgrade, killing eight students and a security guard.

“We’ve been walking around like zombies the last 24 hours, looking for a reason something like this could happen,” Vučić added on Friday as he announced his plans to make sweeping changes to the country’s gun laws, according to The New York Times.
