Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has been injured Wednesday in a shooting inside the country, while authorities have taken a suspect into custody.
A suspect has been taken into custody Wednesday after Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot multiple times, leaving him in a 'life-threatening condition.' The shooting happened in Handlova, about 90 miles northeast of the capital of Bratislava. 'Utterly shocked by today's brutal attack on Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico, which I condemn in strongest possible terms,' Slovakia President Zuzana Čaputová wrote on X.
statement on Fico's Facebook page says he has 'been shot multiple times and is currently in life-threatening condition.' He is expected to receive a medical procedure, it added. Deputy speaker of parliament Lubos Blaha confirmed the incident during a session of Parliament and adjourned it until further notice, the Slovak TASR news agency said.
Images taken from the area showed a male individual being detained by authorities and Fico being rushed into a vehicle. The motive for the shooting is unclear. The Government Office of the Slovak Republic did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Fico's government won a mandatory confidence vote in Parliament in November last year. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
