"Viral footage shows the moment armed police rush a gunman who opened fire outside Serbia's parliament in Belgrade on Wednesday, wounding one man and setting a pro-government tent encampment ablaze. The videos also show a fire tearing through a tent near the building as gunshots can be heard ringing out. The tents had been set up by supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic while he faces ongoing protests demanding new elections. Local reports said a 57-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound and is in stable condition."
"Police detained one man at the scene in what Vucic has now called a terrorist attack, though authorities have not confirmed the suspect's motive or connection to the protests. The confrontation comes ahead of a November 1 rally in Novi Sad marking the anniversary of a train station canopy collapse that killed 16 people and sparked youth-led demonstrations accusing the government of corruption and negligence."
