PRISTINA (Reuters) - The U.S. is working with Kosovo to investigate a shootout that killed four people last weekend, the U.S. ambassador to Kosovo said on Tuesday, speaking after the deadliest violence to hit the contested region in years.

Kosovo authorities said around 30 heavily armed Serbs stormed the village of Banjska on Sunday, battling police and barricading themselves into a Serbian Orthodox monastery. Police recaptured the monastery late on Sunday after three attackers and one police officer were killed.
