Horror in Bosnia , where this morning three employees of a school in Sanski Most, in the north-west of the country , were killed in a shooting .
The victims were the director of the institute Nijaz Halilovic , who was also a politician and advisor of the Social Democratic Party in Sanski Most; English teacher Gordana Midzan and school secretary Nisveta Kljunic .
The perpetrator of the triple murder, Mehmed Vukalic , is an auxiliary worker at the institution, a janitor and cleaner: after shooting and killing the three people with an automatic weapon, he attempted to commit suicide and was transported in serious condition to the hospital in Banja Luka.
According to local media, the motive for the shooting was related to the man's personal grudges against the three victims, members of a commission that had ordered his suspension from work .
The investigators, who have launched an investigation into the incident, have ordered the immediate closure of the institute.
Many teachers and other school staff, who were preparing for the start of the new school year in early September, witnessed the tragedy and are in shock.
There were no students in the institution, and this probably saved other lives.
