Slovakia PM Fico shot: Prognosis remains unknown, suspect acted alone, officials say

WARNING: This video contains disturbing content. Viewer discretion is advised. Slovakia’s interior minister said on Thursday that the suspect in the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico had been charged with attempted murder. Speaking at a press conference, Matus Sutaj Estok said the shooter had acted alone and had previously taken part in anti-government protests. Fico remains in a serious condition and it is too soon to say whether he will recover, a deputy prime minister said at the same press conference, a day after an assassination attempt that has sent shock waves across Europe. "Unfortunately, I cannot say yet that we are winning (the battle to save Fico) or that the prognosis is positive because the extent of the injuries caused by four gunshot wounds is so extensive that the body's response will still be very difficult," Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak said.
