PRISTINA, Kosovo — Armed assailants trying to break into the home of Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci exchanged fire with guards, but the leader was away and his family was not hurt, police said Saturday.

Police later said they had arrested a 19-year-old ethnic Albanian man suspected in the shooting. They said they found the suspect, who was already known to authorities, after a tip from his father.

“Last night, my family was attacked,” Thaci told reporters in the capital, Pristina. “Like any parent and husband, I am happy that my family is safe.”
