Czech injured in Bratislava shooting remains in induced sleep in hospital

The 33-year-old Czech who was injured in Monday’s shooting spree in Bratislava remained in a serious but stable condition on Wednesday according to hospital authorities. The man from the eastern city of Ostrava remained in induced sleep although two other seriously wounded victims have been brought out of it. He was one of 15 people when a man armed with an assault rifle went on a rampage in the Slovak capital, killing six members of a Roma family and two others who happened to cross his path. The shooter, who committed suicide after the attack, is reported to have had frequent disputes with the local Roma community.
