(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, MAY 3 - Serbians held a minute of
silence on Friday to mark the one-year anniversary of a deadly
school shooting in the capital Belgrade that led to major
protests against the government and pro-gun culture. The attack
last May that killed nine students and security guard at a
primary school -- and a second mass shooting a day later -- left
the Balkan nation shaken and in mourning. On Friday morning,
students, parents, and Belgrade residents braved the rain
outside the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school to pay their
respects, lighting candles and laying flowers near its entrance.
"A year has passed since the unprecedented tragedy that left an
indelible scar on the soul of the entire country, but pain,
disbelief and immense sadness have not passed," said President
Aleksandar Vucic. The parents of the accused teenage shooter are
currently on trial in Belgrade. The alleged shooter was 13 at
the time of the attack, making him not criminally liable under
Serbian law. (ANSA-AFP).
