Background

Rade Šefer did not like his son's wife. He did not want them to marry. He blamed his ex-wife for this marriage. He was angry that he divorced his wife last year. He was also angry that his son had to live in France after marriage. Nevertheless, he was present at his son's wedding on May 16, 2015. He got very drunk at the wedding. At the wedding, he wanted to reconcile with his ex-wife, he persuaded her to return and arranged a scandal with her. After the wedding, he followed the car of his ex-wife and younger son, and at about 4:30 a.m. he overtook them and blocked the road. He continued to quarrel with them and attacked them. The son called the police and Šefer was arrested for violent behavior. He was released around 8 a.m. After that he went home, took a gun and went to Orom.[1][2][3][4]

Shootings

In Orom, he shot his wife's parents in their home. Then he went to Martonoš. At about 10 a.m., he broke into the house and shouted, "Bitches, I'm going to kill you all." There were at least 20 people in the house who were there after the wedding party. There he shot his son's wife, her parents, his ex-wife and wounded his wife's aunt in the shoulders and chest. When his son went for shots and screams, Rade Šefer aimed a shotgun at him and pulled the trigger, but the shot did not occur. The son ran away from him and Rade Šefe shouted "Come back, bitch, and I'll kill you." While recharging, the wounded aunt's husband hit Rade Šefe in the neck with a chair, he fell and his aunt's husband strangled him. The autopsy revealed that he was choking on blood.
