"I support and stand with you all during this difficult time."
Doncic, a guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has stated that he is "dedicated" to using his philanthropic foundation to offer "both immediate and long-term" assistance to the victims of the tragedy.
In the shooting at the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school, six more students and a teacher were hurt.

A suspect has been detained in the interim following a second incident that occurred on Thursday, 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Belgrade.
In the incident, eight individuals died and at least 14 more were wounded.
