Montenegro authorities announce measures to curb illegal weapons following a gunman's rampage that killed 12 people this week, the second mass shooting in the country in less than three years. On Wednesday a 45-year-old man opened fire at a restaurant in local town, beginning a killing spree that prompted the government to announce three days of national mourning.

Prime Minister of Montenegro said new searches will be carried out for illegal weapons, giving people in possession of them a two-month deadline to turn them in without facing legal consequences. After that, individuals "will face severe penalties," The Prime Minister says at a press conference after a meeting of the country's National Security Council.
