SKOPJE, Macedonia, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Three ethnic Albanians were shot to death on a busy street in Skopje, Macedonia, it was reported.

There was no information available on the killer, the Sofia News Agency said Saturday. Bulgarian national radio said the victims were between 20 and 30 years old.

The shootings Friday followed a run-in earlier this week between Macedonian police and supporters of an ethnic Albanian party outside Parliament while rival members of Parliament fought inside the building over electoral reforms.

At least five people were arrested and three were hurt Tuesday's incident.
