Luka Doncic is set to help the victims of a fatal shooting that occurred in Belgrade this week. The shooting left eight children and a security guard dead, and many families asking for answers.
The Dallas Mavericks superstar has many reasons to help with this tragedy, besides being a human being that feels for others. He has announced that will be taking care of the funeral expenses, as well as other assistance required.
“I am heartbroken by the tragic school shooting in Serbia and the loss of lives, including those of innocent school children,” Doncic said in a statement. “My thoughts are with the families and the entire community affected by this tragedy.

This is a great gesture from Luka, and it’s sad that we’re praising him for stepping up after a tragic moment. However, the player is ready to bring any help that these victims and their loved ones require, which is incredible.
Doncic also hopes that other NBA stars with Balkan roots can join in this journey to help those who suffered this tragedy. This shooting happened at an elementary school, with nine people (including eight kids) killed in the event.
Luka Doncic Has Close Ties With Belgrade
Luka must be feeling this situation more than others, as he has links with people in Belgrade. His father is a Serbian native, and the Slovenian player also has a grandmother, aunt, uncle and teenage cousin who live in the area.
This is a problem occurring in many places around the world, and sadly, many kids lost their lives due to this. Hopefully, their families can find peace amid all the bad moments. Having people like Doncic, willing to help the victims and their families, means a lot.
