Plenković: We are shocked, it is a monstrous act

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković assessed today's massacre in the Home for the Elderly in Daruvar as a monstrous act, where five people were killed on the spot, the sixth died in the hospital, and several people were wounded.

"We are shocked. It is a monstrous act - the murder of several people, a mother, and other very old people. Mostly people born in the 1930s. We condemn, of course, that crime," Plenković told reporters in Split.

It must be seen, Plenković said, what happened to cause such a monstrous murder of several people in the Home for the Elderly.

"We had a lot of difficult situations, but I don't remember anything like this, that so many people were killed," said the Croatian Prime Minister and added that he will inform the public what exactly it is about when he has more information.

"We are appalled and outraged by this terrible crime," the Croatian Prime Minister said, the media reported.

When asked about better control of weapons, Plenković says that the police have been collecting illegal weapons in private possession for years.
