Eight children and a security guard have been killed after a 14-year-old boy opened fire on his teacher and other students in a school shooting in Serbia, the country’s interior ministry has said.

The seventh-grade student used his father’s gun for the attack at the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in the capital Belgrade, officers added.

Milan Nedeljkovic, mayor of the central Vracar district where the school is located, said the teacher is fighting for their life after being shot.

Six children who were injured are also being treated.

The suspect has been arrested with local media footage showing his head covered as officers led him to a car parked nearby.

Police have identified him only by his initials KK and said he was arrested in the schoolyard.

Officers in helmets and bulletproof vests have cordoned off the area after the shooting at around 8:40am local time (7:40am UK time).
