PRAGUE: A 24-year-old student killed 14 people and wounded 25 at a Prague university on Thursday in the Czech Republic’s worst shooting in decades, before authorities said the attacker was “eliminated”.
Czech authorities sought a motive Friday in a student's gun attack that killed 14 people at a Prague university, where tearful mourners have left a sea of candles to grieve for the dead.
Czech politicians tend to boast that their country is one of the safest in the world from gun violence. At the Faculty of Arts department at Charles University, where 14 people were killed and dozens wounded Thursday, the shooter was an excellent student, police said. Authorities said the lone assailant had no criminal record and therefore did not attract the attention of authorities.
