TIRANA, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- Three people were killed and one injured in a shooting incident on Wednesday evening in Shkoder, northern Albania.

Local media reported that suspects, including a driver and two attackers, fired from a Range Rover at two victims traveling in a Mercedes-Benz, which subsequently collided with a motorcycle. Of the two individuals on the motorcycle, one was killed and the other injured.
