  has been named as the son of a member of the Serbian military and the friend 
of a reality star.

At least eight people died and 14 are wounded after Uros Blažić opened fire

automatic rifle on passers-by in a town south of Belgrade, Serbia

 .

The drive-by attack late on Thursday came after eight children and a security 
guard were killed in another mass shooting at a school on Wednesday in the 
country.

Mr Blažić was on the run for hours after killing a police officer and his 
sister before he was arrested on Friday morning, state broadcaster RTS TV 
reported.

Serbian Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic called the shooting “a terrorist act”.

Mr Blažić is the best friend of reality star Nikola Đorđević who has nearly 27k 
followers on Instagram <https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/instagram> .

They published joint photos on Instagram, and just six days ago they bragged 
about their wild ride in a sports car. 

In another photo on Blažić's Instagram account, he said he was a "fierce guy". 

His account was shut down shortly after the massacre.

A witness said: "He is abnormal, as is his family. Once he was stopped by the 
police, he got out of the car and attacked the policeman. I know he was 
arrested once for ammunition. 

"He loved rafts, his idol was Kristijan Golubović [Serbian gangster]. He was 
driving a motorcycle, he entered the village and drove 200 kilometres per hour. 
That's the only way we saw him."

Under current law, a registered gun owner in Serbia must be over 18, healthy, 
and have no criminal record. Weapons must be kept locked and separately from 
ammunition.

Wednesday's shooting at the Vladislav Ribnikar school left seven people 
hospitalised - six children and a teacher. 

One girl who was shot in the head remains in life-threatening condition and a 
boy is in serious condition with spinal injuries, doctors said Thursday.

Two shootings in two days is very rare for the Balkan country. The last mass 
shooting before this week was in 2013 when a war veteran killed 13 people in a 
central Serbian village.

Al Jazeera’s Bojana Stojanovic said: "We are all in a state of shock, people 
have still not captured their emotions after the school tragedy.

“Everyone is a bit more silent than they were. The loudest thing we can hear is 
shock. These things never happened in Serbia before, not in this measure."
