Police chief says ‘premeditated violent attack’ at Charles University appears to have been inspired by massacres abroad
A student at Prague’s Charles University shot and killed 14 people and injured 25 others, ten of them seriously, before being found dead, in what is believed to be the worst mass shooting in the Czech Republic’s modern history.
The city’s police chief, Martin Vondrášek, told a press briefing on Thursday evening that the death toll may rise further, adding that the shooting had been “a premeditated violent attack”, apparently inspired by similar massacres abroad.
