Agence France-Presse reports:
A “radicalised teenager” shot dead two men at a gay bar in Slovakia’s capital Bratislava, Prime Minister Eduard Heger said on Thursday.
The shooting happened on Wednesday outside the Teplaren bar and police said they found the gunman dead at another location on Thursday. “Two people were murdered just because they were part of the LGBTI community,” Heger said.
“This is unacceptable,” he told reporters, adding: “In a free and democratic country, homosexuals have a right to live freely.” On Twitter, Heger described the shooter as a “radicalised teenager”. Local media identified him as 19-year-old Juraj Krajcik, the son of a prominent member of the far-right Vlast party.
