The footage shows Fico approaching a group of supporters outside the House of Culture in the town of Handlová, about 90 miles (150km) north-east of the capital, Bratislava. A man in the crowd is then seen grabbing a gun and firing five shots, hitting Fico who falls to the ground as security personnel tackle the shooter. Fico is being treated in hospital for a life-threatening condition.

  5. And this is why people have security. Its not because they think they are above everyday people. They become prominent enough to be targeted.

  6. *SLOVAK!!!!!!!
    THE CORRECT ADJECTIVE IS SLOVAK
    Also, fix your description, he's Fico not Fuico.
    Absolutely unprofessional.

  8. Interesting that a president speaking out against vaccines and saying hes adamant he will get to the bottom of the Problem, Along with refusing to sign the WHO treaty is the one shot dead.

  13. ხალხი მელ სიგრძეზე იდგა და ჩანს მაინცდამაინც მაგ კაცისკენ მიდიან აჩქარებული ,მიზანმიმართული ნაბიჯით!
    ანუ რაღაც დაუძახა პროვოკაციულად,ყურადღება,რომ მიქცია ფიცოს და მაგისკენ წასულიყო,რომ განზრახვის მიღწევა გაადვილებოდა
    ან დაცვამ უღალატა,დაცვა წავიდა ზუსტად მაგ კაცისკენ ,რომ მიეყვანა ფიცო მოსაკლავად!
    გადაახვიეთ ძალიან ნელა,ჯერ დაცვა მიდის მაგ მკვლელისკენ თუ ჯერ ფიცო და დაცვაც იმას გაყვა საითაც წავიდა!
