Slovakian PM Robert Fico shot multiple times, in 'life-threatening' condition

"Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot multiple times in an assassination attempt

and was in a life-threatening condition.....Fico was being transported by helicopter to Banska Bystrica for medical treatment "because it would take too long" to return him to the capital of Bratislava.
The attack happened following a government meeting in the central Slovakian town of Handlova.
A woman who witnessed the shooting, cited by local news outlet MNT.SK, said she heard three or four shots and watched Fico fall to the ground. Fico had made pro-Russian statements and moved to tighten state control over news media. Fico had faced criticism for saying he would not arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin under an existing international criminal warrant if Putin visited Slovakia." AP
