BELGRADE, Serbia—A gunman apparently firing at random killed eight people and wounded 14 in two villages in Serbia, authorities said, shaking a nation still in the throes of grief over a mass shooting a day earlier. Police arrested a suspect Friday after an all-night manhunt.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic called the shootings late Thursday an attack on the whole nation—and said the person arrested wore a T-shirt with a pro-Nazi slogan on it but did not shed light on the motive.
