Witness Radulović also, when hehad heard the volleys, ordered the duty policeman to go and see what wasgoing on, which was done, and then the witness learned that there weremany victims, women, children and the elderly. Witness Nebojša Maljević -who, at the time, was an assistant to the commander of the Department ofthe Interior in Kuršumlija - did not go to the crime scene, but, in his words,he learned that that morning there was a mass killing of civilians, that 19civilians had been killed in one or two houses and in a teahouse.
