Medico-legal analysis of a case of mass shooting

Arch Med Sadowej Kryminol. 2014;64(2):112-9. doi: 10.5114/amsik.2014.47747.

Abstract

Despite the existence of organised crime in Slovakia, no case has ever been monitored in which one individual used a firearm against several people, as happens in the U.S. or in Western Europe. The aim of this work is to demonstrate a "unique" case in the history of Slovak criminality, when six members of one family were killed and some other accidental victims were wounded or even killed by one perpetrator using a firearm.
