BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — A Roman Catholic bishop is celebrating a Requiem Mass in the Slovak capital of Bratislava in memory of seven people killed when a gunman went on a shooting spree.
Slovak Prime Minister Iveta Radicova and other government officials joined relatives and other worshippers in attending the Mass held by Bishop Stanislav Zvolensky at St. Martin Cathedral.
A heavily armed man killed seven people including a 12-year-old boy and wounded 15 others in a rundown district of Bratislava on Monday before committing suicide. The man was identified by police as Lubomir Harman, 48, but his motives remain unknown.
