   Authorities  in  Slovakia  say  seven  people  are dead after a gunman
   opened  fire  in  the  streets of Bratislava.  Another 14 people were
   wounded.
   The mid-morning shooting Monday took place in a northwestern district,
   Devinska  Nova  Ves,  of  the  capital.  Local media said the shooter
   killed  himself  after  the rampage, but police have not confirmed the
   reports.
   A spokeswoman for a Bratislava hospital said a three-year-old child is
   among the wounded.
   Police  have  not commented on the attack, but are scheduled to hold a
   news conference later Monday.
