The baby was wounded in the hand in a shooting, in which his mother and two other men were also injured, mediapool.bg said.

The mother, Boyana Rogosic, presented herself as Maria Rogosic while in Bulgaria . The injured men were of Macedonian origin and were related to the Zemunski clan.

According to witnesses, three masked men attacked the victims, targeting the two Macedonians. The attackers fired more than 10 shots.

One of the victims was wounded in the head and was sent to Sofia ’s Military Medical Academy . The rest were hospitalised in Pirogov emergency centre and were reported to be out of danger.
