At least six ******* in Croatia nursing home *********

At least six people have been ******* after a gunman opened ***** in a care home in Croatia, sparking calls for stricter **** control in the Balkan country.

Five people, including an employee, were ******* in the home in the eastern town of Daruvar, while another person later ***** in hospital.

Police said several people were also injured, and four remain in a critical condition.

The suspect fled the scene after the ******* and was later arrested at a cafe, where he was found carrying unregistered firearms, according to Croatian media.

Croatia’s President Zoran Milanovic said he was shocked by the “savage, unprecedented” mass ********* and called for rules on **** ownership to be “even more rigorous”.

“It is a frightening warning and a last call to all competent institutions to do more to prevent ********* in society,” President Milanovic wrote in a social media post.

Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic called it a “monstruous *******” and expressed his condolences to those affected.

Croatian authorities have given no motive for the massacre.

Marin Piletic, Croatia’s Minister for Labour, Pensions, Families and Social Policy, said the mother of the suspect had been a resident of the care home for 10 years.

Unconfirmed reports by local media say the man was a war veteran.

He also had a previous record for disturbing public order and domestic ******, according to Croatian national police chief Nikola Milina.

The killings have left the 7,000 residents of the quiet spa town of Daruvar in shock.

“It’s hard for me to understand that this can happen in our town, country,” mayor Damir Lnenicek told Croatian broadcaster N1.

Around 20 people lived in the nursing home at the time of the *********, according to Mr Lnenicek.

Mass shootings in Croatia are rare.

Monday’s massacre was among the worst in the country’s history since it declared independence in 1991.

According to the 2017 Small Arms Survey, Croatia has 13.2 guns per 100 people, placing it 25th in Europe in terms of **** ownership.

Last year, two mass shootings in neighbouring Serbia left more than 18 people ***** and
