Two dead in Bosnia school shooting

Police said the 17-year-old male student then shot himself dead.

No motive has yet been established for the shooting at a secondary school in Vlasenica, in the Bosnian Serb part of the country.

It comes only days after a former pupil at a school in eastern Germany shot dead 16 teachers and pupils before killing himself.

But correspondents say there is no evidence of a link at this stage.

First of its kind

In Monday's incident, the Bosnian Serb student approached a history teacher who was standing outside the school and shot him in the head, a local police spokesman said.

The boy then walked into a classroom and shot and wounded a mathematics teacher.

She suffered gunshot wounds to her neck, but her life was not in danger.

The incident is believed to be the first of its kind in Bosnia.
