CELLOPEK, N. Macedonia (Reuters) - The gunman who killed four people in Vienna on Monday night visited his ancestral home, the tiny mountainous village of Cellopek in the western part of North Macedonia, every year, his grandfather told a local television channel.

The family of Kujtim Fejzulai, the 20-year-old jihadist killed by the police after his rampage through the Austrian capital, lived in a house behind a rusty green gate in the village with several mosques before moving to Austria in 2000.
