It's been announced that everything was found on the Russian who killed three people in Montenegro.

The Montenegrin police have revealed what was found at the scene where Mikhail Nikolaevich Shabunin (30), a Russian citizen suspected of killing three employees at a shooting range in Danilovgrad, was located. In the forest above Herceg Novi, two pistols and over 230 rounds of ammunition were discovered, which the police suspect he took from the shooting range after the murders. Additional items such as a mobile phone, tablets, and other objects were also found and will be sent for forensic examination. The investigation continues in coordination with the Higher State Prosecution in Podgorica. Shabunin is accused of killing three individuals, Petar Globarevic (24), Nemanja Kapor (20), and Momir Radonjic (67), who all worked at the shooting range on August 31 around 4:45 PM. After the killings, he fled toward Herceg Novi, where he was eventually located by police forces. During his arrest attempt, he opened fire on officers before shooting himself in the head, though no officers were injured. The motive behind the triple murder remains unclear, and investigators are analyzing his communications and movements prior to the attack. Local residents reported seeing him camping near the Zet

In Zadar, Croatia, a violent confrontation involving gunfire occurred on the evening of August 28, 2026, resulting in two individuals being detained and a third person found injured. According to reports from the Zadar Police Department, the incident took place on Vlatka Mačeka Street, where multiple men were involved in a physical altercation. During the conflict, gunshots were heard, prompting authorities to respond swiftly. The police arrived at the scene but did not find any participants present. Despite initial efforts to locate individuals involved, no one came forward to report the incident. The police conducted an investigation, collecting evidence and searching for potential links to criminal activity. By early morning, two individuals associated with the incident were brought into police custody. Later, a third person was discovered and transported for medical attention due to injuries sustained during the altercation. The police have initiated a criminal investigation to determine all relevant facts and clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, a separate but equally severe incident unfolded at a rave party in Aarau on the night of August 29, 2026. A shooting resulted in the death of a 22-year-old Italian woman and left five others injured. The victims were all Swiss citizens in their twenties. Witnesses initially thought the sounds were fireworks, but panic ensued when someone shouted, “Everyone to the ground!” One witness attempted to resuscitate the victim without success, and the police confirmed her death at the scene. Five others were taken to the hospital with varying degrees of injury, ranging from minor to serious. The Swiss police launched a large-scale operation to apprehend the suspect, leading to the arrest of a 43-year-old man suspected of carrying out the attack. The suspect was identified through extensive searches and was detained on Monday, August 30, 2026. Authorities are investigating possible motives, including mass shootings, terrorism, or unknown criminal intent. Evidence collected at the scene suggested the use of two different calibers, possibly from a pistol and a larger firearm such as a military rifle. The incident has sparked widespread concern, particularly given Switzerland’s high rate of civilian gun ownership despite relatively low rates of violent crime. In response to the tragedy, the cantonal police in Aargau have called upon the public to provide any videos or photographs related to the incident. The area around Aarau has been cordoned off, and increased police presence has been deployed both within and outside the city. The organizers of the event had advertised it as a techno party on a covered hippodrome, expecting approximately 3,500 attendees. In Croatia, the Zadar incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding public safety and the need for continued vigilance against violent behavior. The police continue their investigation into the cause and context of the disturbance, emphasizing the importance of gathering further information to ensure justice is served. Both incidents underscore the complex challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining order and preventing violence in public spaces, especially during gatherings that attract large crowds. As investigations proceed, the focus remains on uncovering the truth behind these troubling events.

The pursuit of the triple murderer in Montenegro is over.

A Russian citizen, Mihail Nikolajević Šabunjin, suspected of three murders in the Montenegrin town of Danilovgrad, committed suicide after being surrounded by police in the forest above Herceg Novi. The police located him around 03:35 near the village of Topla using helicopters from the Montenegrin Army and specialized equipment. During the operation, Šabunjin opened fire on the officers before taking his own life. The victims were Nemanja Kapor (20), Petar Globarević (24), and Momir Radonjić (67). Their bodies were found yesterday afternoon in a shot-up 'Czech truck' in Danilovgrad. Šabunjin was believed to have fled in a car belonging to one of the victims to Rogami before taking a taxi towards Herceg Novi. Strong police forces were deployed in the area, supported by military helicopters and technical equipment. The investigation into the motives behind the triple murder continues, with the Montenegrin government declaring September 1 and 2 days of mourning.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other five injured individuals, aged between 24 and 27, were taken to the hospital with varying degrees of injury. Police confirmed the suspect acted alone and stated the investigation into the motive and background of the crime is ongoing.
