Belgrade, Serbia (CNN) -- A gunman went on a shooting spree in the Serbian town of Velika Ivanca Tuesday, killing at least 13, including a small child, according to police chief Milorad Veljovic. The town lies roughly 25 miles south of the capital Belgrade.
The man in his 60s entered five different houses and shot six men, six women and one child dead.
The motive is not yet known, Veljovic said.
Serbia has a low murder rate, nearly on par with that of Sweden, according to the World Health Organization. With 1.2 intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010, Serbia's murder rate was one quarter of that of the United States.
