Situation Under Control
The incident occurred at an elementary and middle school in Staskov in the Cadca district, about 185 kilometers northeast of the capital, Bratislava. “The situation is under control, and at this moment, no one is in immediate danger,” the police added.
Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok and Education Minister Tomas Drucker rushed to the scene.
Motive Still Unclear
The suspected perpetrator, an eighth-grade student, is said to have used a knife as a weapon. No further information was initially available regarding the exact sequence of events, the possible motive, or the background of the incident.
Prime Minister Robert Fico expressed deep concern over the attack. “Schools must be a safe place for our children; otherwise, we will have no future,” the politician said. Fico himself had been critically injured in an assassination attempt in May 2024. President Peter Pellegrini expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. He emphasized that such an event serves as a warning to society as a whole. He said there is a need for more peace, respect, and mutual recognition.
