Zagreb: A gunman opened fire in a nursing home in Croatia on Monday, killing at least five people, state media reported, in a rare instance of gun violence in the Balkan country.
State broadcaster HRT said an unidentified gunman entered a nursing home in Daruvar -- some 130 kilometres (80 miles) east of Zagreb -- and opened fire.
At least five were killed and several others wounded during the shooting, HRT said.
The outlet said the alleged suspect then fled but was later arrested by police.
Croatian newspaper Jutarnji list described the alleged shooter as a "war veteran" who killed his mother along with other residents and staff.
