  "account": "Montenegro's police force has issued a nationwide manhunt for a Russian suspect following the triple murder of employees at a shooting range. On Monday, the 30-year-old suspect allegedly shot and killed three individuals at the range located 20km northwest of the capital, Podgorica. The suspect managed to flee the scene in a stolen car belonging to one of the victims.\n\nThe incident has prompted the police to set up checkpoints in several towns across the region. The vehicle used by the suspect was discovered empty by authorities. Police have appealed to citizens to exercise caution due to the suspect's possession of firearms and ammunition.\n\nThe authorities have released photographs of the suspect, although the specific motive behind the murders remains undisclosed. Montenegro's Prime Minister, Milojko Spajic, has offered condolences to the families of the victims and declared two days of national mourning beginning Tuesday.",
