Hundreds of mourners gathered outside the Serbian capital, Belgrade, for the funerals of 13 people killed in a shooting rampage by a lone gunman.
Onlookers wept as wooden coffins bearing the bodies of the victims were lined up on a red carpet outside a small church in the village of Velika Ivanca.
The victims were killed on April 9 when a 60-year-old war veteran, Ljubisa Bogdanovic, opened fire on relatives and neighbors, many of them in their sleep.
Bogdanovic’s mother and 2-year-old son were among those killed.
Bogdanovic died on April 11 in the hospital after shooting himself in the head following the rampage.
Bogdanovich's motive remains unclear, although he had a history of mental illness and had lost his job last year.
The killings are Serbia’s worst shooting incident in 20 years.
