A gunman opened fire in a nursing home in Croatia on Monday, killing at least five people, according to officials and state media, in a rare instance of gun violence in the Balkan country.

State broadcaster HRT said an unidentified gunman entered a nursing home in Daruvar -- some 130 kilometres (80 miles) east of Zagreb -- and began shooting.

At least five were killed and several others wounded during the incident, HRT said.

The number of dead was later confirmed by Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, who called for a thorough investigation by relevant officials.
