And how the attack unfolded. This was the moment a european leader was shot. Gunshots. As he greeted members of the public in front of a local community centre.

Translation i am shocked, we are all shocked by the terrible and vicious attack on Prime Minister robert fico. A physical attack on the Prime Minister
