A politician has been reported to the police for shooting a picture of baby Jesus in the head.
Sanija Ameti raised a gun and took aim at the religious target.
The 32-year-old boasted about it on Instagram.

A second snap showed a picture of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus with their faces riddled with bullet holes.
On Sunday evening, Ms Ameti deleted the photos and said sorry.
But the Young SVP, the youth wing of the Swiss People’s Party, has reportedly already filed a criminal complaint against her.
Representatives accuse her of discrimination and incitement to hatred, which is punishable with a fine under Swiss law.
Ms Ameti is a member of the Green Liberal Party (GLP) leadership in Switzerland’s Zurich Canton.
She serves in the Zurich City Parliament and is also co-president of the Operation Libero movement, which promotes a liberal immigration policy.
The religious image Ms Ameti shot at is reportedly a reproduction of a painting by a medieval Italian artist.
After the online backlash, Ameti wrote: “I apologise to anyone who was hurt by my post. I deleted it right away as soon as I realised its religious content.
“I didn’t think it through. I’m deeply sorry.”
Members of her own party are not impressed either, as reported by Need To Know.
GLP Zurich Canton co-president Nora Ernst said: “Sanija Ameti’s Instagram post does not reflect the values of the Green Liberals, either in tone or content.
“We place a high value on peaceful and respectful interaction, and the post on social media does not contribute to a respectful and constructive dialogue.”
And GLP Switzerland president Jürg Grossen said: “This is beyond foolish.
“We will meet in the party committees to discuss how to proceed with this matter.
“Excluding Sanija Ameti from the Green Liberals is one of several options we’ll consider.”
Ms Ameti was born to a Kosovar Albanian family in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992.
She and her parents moved to Switzerland as refugees in 1995.
The politician is well-known in her adopted country for uploading bizarre content to her social media accounts.
