Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has pledged to pay for the funerals of all nine victims of a mass shooting at a school in Serbia.
Eight children and a security guard died during Wednesday (May 3) morning's attack at the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school in the country's capital, Belgrade. Another seven, six students and a teacher, were injured. Doncic has also committed to covering the cost of grief counselling for classmates and staff affected by the attack.
The 24-year-old is a native of fellow Balkan country Slovenia. He has several ties to Serbia, with his father's side of the family of Serbian descent. The shooting happened in the same city where the player's grandmother, aunt, uncle and teenage cousin reside.
