YEREVAN, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) — A gunman opened fire at a funeral on Tuesday in Armenia, killing four people and wounding six others, the Health Ministry said.

The shootout broke out in the Yazidi-populated village of Shamiram, in the northeastern province of Aragatsotn, which has rarely seen such crimes.

The gunman, who is still at large, was motivated by personal grievances, police said, adding that a manhunt is underway in the area.
