Serbian police have urged people to lock up their guns after a 13-year-old boy used his father’s weapons in a shooting rampage that killed eight fellow students and a school guard.

Thousands of people in Belgrade and other cities lined up to lay flowers, light candles and leave toys to commemorate the victims of the shooting that happened in a central district in the Serbian capital on Wednesday morning.
