God forbid, four shot right at the funeral, in front of the church. The officer reacted quickly and shot the gunman, but how sad for these families who had come to say goodbye. May God rest the wounded.

Stefan Popović

It is sad that it happened right in front of the church during the funeral. Four wounded and a policeman who had to shoot the gunman - I hope all the wounded do well. May God give strength to their families.

Dragan Marković

I'm sorry it happened right at the funeral, man. I hope the policeman had no choice and that all of the injured are not life-threatening. Families need a lot of prayer these days.

Mihaela Tudor

Yes, Teodora, right next to the church, while people were crying at the coffin. I'm glad the officer stopped it before it got any worse, but still, what a shock to those families. Let us also pray for them and for those injured to get well.

Radmila Radovanović

I'm sorry that it happened right in front of the church, at the funeral. I pray that all the wounded are out of danger and that the officer really had to shoot. Dragan, have you heard if any of them are from that family?

Vesna Đorđević

I'm sorry that it happened in front of the church, right at the funeral. I heard that three are in stable condition, and one is still in critical condition. Dragan hasn't heard anything about the family, and you?

Marija Pavlović

I'm sorry that it happened at the funeral, it's really sad. I heard that three are stable, but the critical one is still in serious condition. Dragan didn't tell me anything about the family, and you know something more about who they were?

Nicolae Nistor

Yes, Mihaela, right next to the church in full funeral service, it's unbelievable. I'm also glad the officer acted quickly, otherwise it could have been an even bigger tragedy. Do you have any idea what church it was?
