On 12 October 2022, two people were killed (plus the perpetrator), and a third person was wounded in a shooting outside of the front entrance of Tepláreň, a gay bar in Bratislava, Slovakia,[13] a well-known spot frequented by the local LGBTQ community.[14][4] The shooting claimed two victims: Juraj Vankulič, a non-binary person, and Matúš Horváth, a bisexual man.[15][1] The perpetrator was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot the morning after the attack.[16]
The investigation classified the shooting as a terrorist attack and found that primary targets included high level politicians.[17][18][1]
According to the shooter's own words in the 4chan thread that he authored, "2-1 kdr, not my problem. wish i couldve gone higher but whatever. wanted to bag the prime minister but i didnt get lucky with his car arriving".[19] The primary target was Eduard Heger; the attack on Tepláreň was a plan B.[20]
