Slovakia’s premier shot, in critical condition

SLOVAKIA'S PRIME Minister Robert Fico is in a “life-threatening condition” after he was shot and injured on Wednesday, his Facebook account said in a statement.

"He was shot multiple times and is currently in a life-threatening condition," the statement said.

Fico was rushed to Banska Bystrica due to the necessity of an "acute intervention.”

According to the state-run TASR news agency, the incident took place when an attacker fired several shots in front of the House of Culture in the central city of Handlova, where a government meeting was being held.

The attacker was detained after the attack, it added.

Local JOJ television reported that a man in the crowd opened fire at the prime minister when he came out of the building to greet the residents of the city. (Anadolu)
