It is kind of weird. The shooter is a pensioner from small town, which is Fico's main voting base. But this guy seems to have been against his policies and most likely went nuts (just a guess, they don't have a medical evaluation yet as far as I know). But his neighbors say he was a nice, quiet guy, nobody would have guessed it. He also seems to have made videos in the past talking against violence. It's crazy. He had gun legally - not a very usual thing in this country thankfully. I have said it before, if we had more lenient gun laws, I'm afraid things would have been a lot worse, because our society is just as polarized as the American.
