A family massacre has occurred in Veliko Gradište, eastern Serbia, near the Romanian border, allegedly triggered by a dispute over inheritance. A 39-year-old police officer shot and seriously injured his sister, killed his niece and nephew, and wounded his mother. The victim’s sister, who lived with her family, was critically injured after being shot in the head. The officer later took his own life. According to local reports, the incident stemmed from a conflict over inheritance, where the officer wanted to sell the father’s house, while his sister intended to pass it on to her children. Tensions escalated after the officer separated from his wife, leaving him in debt and desperate to sell assets. Neighbors reported he had been harassing his sister, threatening her, and even suggested she would need to use a gun to resolve their disputes. The dog initially thought to be dead fled after the shooting, leaving the officer alone at home.
