Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was rushed to a hospital after a shooting attack by a lone gunman in the town of Handlova on May 15. A government statement said he was in a "life-threatening" condition, but few details about his health have been made available. European leaders quickly condemned the violence, which Slovak President Zuzana Caputova called "an attack on democracy."
