Tirana | A security guard was killed in a gun attack on a television channel in Albania. Shots were fired at the channel’s headquarters from an SUV that was running near the channel building.

Albania was once notorious for illegal arms trafficking. During a general uprising in the 1990s, more than a million Kalashnikov rifles were stolen from military depots. However, mass shootings and violent attacks on journalists are rare in the country.
