Montenegro declared three days of national mourning Saturday, a day after 10 people, including two children, were killed in a shooting spree by a 34-year-old gunman who police said had recently exhibited a “change in behavior.”

The attacker used a hunting rifle to first shoot to death two children, 8 and 11, and their mother, who lived as tenants in his house in the western city of Cetinje’s Medovina neighborhood. He then walked into the street and randomly shot 13 more people, seven of them fatally. The gunman was shot dead later after a gunbattle with police.

The police statement also said that the law enforcement officers sent to the scene came under fire from the attacker and responded by firing at him at least 20 times and seriously injuring him. The prosecutor coordinating the investigation, Andrijana Nastic, told journalists Friday that the gunman was killed by a passerby and that a police officer was among the wounded. She said nine of those killed died at the scene and two died at a hospital.

“You could hear women crying, people shouting in panic that a man has a weapon and is indiscriminately shooting around. I heard gunshots,” said witness Milena Stanojevic. “I’ve seen a lot of crying, tears and sadness and today, silence and disbelief.”

'killing 10 people, including two children, before being shot dead by a passerby, officials said.' Correction necessary, ? have to update the 'good guy with a gun' thing to ' a good guy with a gun takes out a bad guy with a gun, after the bad guy kills 10 people or a school of children' Did they try shooting therapy at him? maybe his crying would rust the gun and make it inoperable?
