The shooting that took place Wednesday in a primary school in Belgrade reacted to the NBA. Slovenian basketball player Luka Doncic, star of the Dallas Mavericks, most of whose family is from Serbia, pledged Thursday to help finance the funeral of the nine victims of this tragedy, explains the sports channel ESPN. The 24-year-old leader, selected four times for the All-Star Game, would also like to finance psychological support measures for child survivors of the tragedy and school staff, said ESPN, quoting a spokesperson for the player’s foundation.
“I bring you all my support during this difficult time, said Luka Doncic directly on social networks. Through my foundation, I am currently exploring all avenues to provide short and long-term support to all students, families and institutions affected by the shooting at Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School. »
Nikola Jokic also reacted
Eight students (seven girls and a boy) as well as the caretaker were killed on Wednesday in this primary school in the Serbian capital. A 13-year-old teenager from this establishment, suspected of having prepared this massacre in detail, was then arrested. “This tragic shooting in Serbia, and the loss of many lives, including those of innocent children, breaks my heart,” added Luka Doncic.
Another player from the North American basketball championship, Serbian Nikola Jokic, also spoke. “We have to take care of everyone,” reacted the double MVP of the Denver Nuggets, originally from Sombor, less than 200 km from the Serbian capital. “I’m really sorry for what these families have to go through right now,” explains the 28-year-old pivot. I don’t remember such an event in Serbia. The two players spoke before Serbian media reported a second shooting, which occurred late Thursday in the town of Mladenovac, south of Belgrade, in which eight other victims lost their lives.
