Bratislava Gay Bar Shooting: Gunman Kills Two Outside Teplaren

Juraj Krajčík shot two people outside Tepláreň, a gay bar in Bratislava, in 2022. He'd posted a manifesto online minutes before. Police found him dead the next morning from a self-inflicted gunshot. He was 19. His victims were Juraj Vankulič, who was non-binary, and Matúš Horváth, who was bisexual. Slovakia had no hate crime laws. Parliament passed them four months later.
