DENVER — Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, who is a native of Serbia, weighed in on the school shooting in Belgrade that left eight children and a school guard dead on Wednesday and hospitalized several others.A 13-year-old student opened fire in a hallway and a classroom, targeting students in what Serbian police called a thoroughly planned attack.
Even though Serbia is known to be fraught with guns left over from the Balkan wars of decades past, this sort of violence is rare there. No mass shootings had been reported at Serbian schools in recent years, according to the Associated Press. “It’s something you don’t want to hear about,” he said. “When it hits [...] a little closer to you – it doesn’t make any sense. In Serbia, it’s never happened before.”“I would say, ‘We don’t have that [kind of violence in Serbia],' but maybe that’s just a mindset, that’s not true,” he said. “People, kids, we all have problems. We need to take care of everybody.
He also listed a set of proposed measures to improve gun control: tighten media and internet restrictions for violent content and conduct drug tests in schools.
