Serbia called a day of mourning for the 13 victims of the deadliest peacetime shooting in the nation’s post-Yugoslav history as police search for clues why the 60-year-old army veteran went amok in a quiet village.

The gunman, Ljubisa Bogdanovic, remained in critical condition at the Belgrade Emergency Center today, after he allegedly murdered his son, mother and 11 others, then wounded his wife and turned the gun on himself. Investigators haven’t had the chance to question him on motive as doctors work to save him from nine self-inflicted gunshot wounds to his head.
