At least 10 people, including two children, were killed and four others were wounded in a shooting on Wednesday that followed a bar brawl in a western city in Montenegro, with the suspect still at large, officials said. 

Police identified the suspect as 45-year-old Aco Martinovic.

During a news conference Wednesday, Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic said Martinovic killed the owner of the bar in the city of Cetinje, the bar owner's children and his own family members.

"At this moment, we are focused on arresting him," said Saranovic.

Police dispatched special troops to search for the suspect in Cetinje, located some 30 kilometres northwest of the capital, Podgorica.

A statement said the armed man fled the scene after opening fire at the bar.
