In a similar incident in Kishnarekë, Drenas, another suspect was taken to the police station after discharging a weapon at a family event. The suspect voluntarily surrendered the firearm, four cartridges, and one bullet, and was later released following interrogation under regular procedure.
Kosovo Police urge the public to avoid the use of firearms in public or private settings, especially during celebrations or gatherings, as such actions pose serious risks to the safety and lives of citizens.
