Police Croatia shoots minibuses with migrants

At least two children were injured when the Croatian police opened fire on a van with migrants.

Agents had tried in vain to stop the driver. They opened fire when the car drove through a roadblock near Srb, near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Shortly after that, the van stopped. The driver got out and fled into a forest.

Police officers discovered 29 migrants in the vehicle. Two children were injured, but their condition is probably not life-threatening. It is still unclear what the origin of the passengers of the van is, that possibly crossed the border illegally.

Earlier this month, a similar incident occurred in Belgium. There, a toddler died after the police had shot in a chariot full of migrants during a chase.
