  "account": "A massive search is underway in Montenegro for a Russian national named Mikhail Shabunin, 30, suspected of carrying out a triple murder at a shooting range, according to Montenegrin broadcaster N1. The incident occurred at the Češka Zbrojevka range near Danilovgrad on August 31, when a gunman opened fire, killing three employees. Subsequently, the suspect fled the scene in a black Seat Cordoba, which was later found abandoned in Rogami. Authorities have ramped up the manhunt across the Herceg Novi municipality, deploying special forces and army air patrols to locate the fugitive. Police have cautioned residents not to approach the suspect and to promptly report any sightings to law enforcement. Russian media sources suggest Shabunin had visited the range multiple times prior to the attack. On the day of the shooting, the gunman reportedly took a few practice shots before turning his weapon on the range staff.",
