With Slovakia’s prime minister’s life hanging in the balance – his political rivals and supporters have come together to denounce the assassination attempt – calling it an attack on Slovak democracy.
Robert Fico was hit in the stomach after a gunman opened fire during a meeting with supporters in the town of Handlova, just over 100 miles from the capital Bratislava.
He was airlifted to hospital – where the next few hours will prove critical.
A warning – there are shocking images from the very start of this report.
