The gunman shot Fico, 59, five times, as he shook hands with a small group of supporters in the town of Handlová. Fico was airlifted by helicopter to a nearby hospital before being flown to another hospital in Banska Bystrica, east of Handlova. The attack initially left Fico in critical condition, following which he underwent a surgery that lasted over 3 hours.
