(about 4 hours later)
A man has shot dead at least six people near the northern Bosnian town of Tuzla, police say. A Bosnian Croat man shot dead six of his own relatives in a village near the north Bosnian town of Tuzla before being arrested by police.
One more person was seriously wounded in the shooting, which took place at about 0600 local time (0400 GMT). Police reportedly stopped the gunman, 45, as he tried to reload his pistol after killing three people in their homes and three on a bus.
The gunman, said to be 45 years old, reportedly killed three people in their homes and another three on a bus. A seventh person was seriously wounded in the attacks, which took place at about 0600 (0400 GMT).
The Tuzla region, in Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation, is home to thousands of mainly Muslim (Bosniak) refugees displaced in the 1992-95 war. Police said they were still trying to establish a motive for the attack.
However, it was not clear if the man had any political motive. Police and witnesses say Tomislav Petrovic entered two family homes in the village of Gornja Lipnica, killing two people in the first and one in the second.
