    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      After three and a half hours, still in surgery. Multiple gunshot wounds, described as life threatening.

      71 year old suspect in custody.

        Attempt was politically-motivated, it is claimed.

        GSW to abdomen and chest.

          To my knowledge authorities in Bratislava have yet to make any definitive statements about the suspect or his motives other than his age and he is a Slovak.

          But, yes it probably was politically motivated. Slovakia is a very polarised country and Fico himself has been a very polarising figure. Essentially a socialist turned nationalist. Never a wholesome transformation.

                BBC reports:

                Slovakia's deputy prime minister has told the BBC that he believes Prime Minister Robert Fico "will survive" and that he is no longer in a life threatening situation.

                  And of course, Moscow not wasting time coming up with a conspiracy theory laying the blame on Ukraine:
