Terrorist Who Killed 2 at Gay Bar Inspired by Buffalo Shooter
Slovakian police officials have recategorized an attack on the LGBTQ+ community as terrorism, while the gunman’s haunting words indicate an obsession with mass shooters.Last Wednesday, a gunman who attacked the LGBTQ+ community in Bratislava described the Buffalo supermarket shooter as his inspiration for committing terrorist acts.Shortly after 7 p.m., a shooter opened fire outside the Teplaren bar in Bratislava's city center, killing two people and wounding a third. A Twitter account believed to be the shooter, 19-year-old Juraj Krajcik, tweeted the hashtags “#bratislava #hatecrime #gaybar” and “feeling no regrets, isn’t that funny?” Police found his body the next day.
