Friday, October 25, 2024 – A shocking incident unfolded late Thursday,
October 2, in the town of Bosanska Krupa, Bosnia, where a 14-year-old broke
into a police station, fatally st@bbing one officer and severely injuring
another, according to local authorities.
The small town, located approximately 300 kilometers northwest of
Sarajevo, is reeling from the unexpected violence.
Ramo Isak, the interior minister for the Bosniak-Croat federation,
confirmed the attack and the officer’s death, while police spokesperson Adnan
Beganovic reported that the wounded officer is in the hospital with
life-threatening injuries. The young assailant, born in 2009, was quickly
apprehended, and an investigation into the attack’s motives is underway.
Regional police chief Adnan Habibija expressed dismay at the youth's
involvement, calling it “an alarm bell for our society.” Mayor Armin Halitovic
echoed the town's shock, saying, “We are a peaceful and tolerant town.” In
light of the tragedy, police have increased security measures.
This incident follows a similar attack last year when a 13-year-old student wounded a teacher with a firearm, underscoring growing concerns over youth violence in Bosnia.
