BRATISLAVA, Slovakia—Slovakia’s police said Thursday they found the body of a suspect who allegedly fatally shot two people the previous day in the capital.
Two men were killed and a woman was wounded on Wednesday evening near or at a bar in downtown Bratislava.
Comenius University in Bratislava said one of the two victims was a student.
Police said they were investigating but haven’t provided details about the motive of the shooting. They also said that authorities found the suspect’s body, but didn’t immediately give any further details.
President Zuzana Caputova and Prime Minister Eduard Heger condemned the slayings.
“When I say that Slovakia is a free and democratic country I meant it,” Heger said Thursday. “It’s unacceptable that anyone should be afraid about their way of life,” he said.
“No form of extremism is acceptable.”
Caputova and Heger also offered condolences to the relatives of the victims.
