It's breaking on all the European wires I follow- but not a peep on any US wires yet.
Condition is "life threatening" according to Sky

A nation's leader is mortally shot, and we don't hear about it on our news feeds?

from the wiki page it was kind of hard to extract his political leanings. Seems he is pro-Israel, anti-Muslim , not pro-Ukraine, left of center domestic policy, pro-EU, and seems to warm to Russia, but not overtly.
Not sure how any of this plays into this attempt, but i understand the perp was nabbed, so I am guessing more to follow.
