At least 15 people were killed and 30 others injured when a student opened fire on Thursday at a university in Prague — where startling images captured young people huddled on the scaffolding of a building as they sought cover from the gunman, officials said.
Authorities responded to the shooting around 3 p.m. local time at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts building near the Czech Republic capital’s Old Town, which is a popular tourist destination, the Prague police said.
The police were tipped off earlier in the day that the suspect — named in local media as 24-year-old David Kozák — was headed to Prague from his hometown in the Kladno region to take his own life, Police Chief Martin Vondrasek explained.
The suspect’s father was later found dead, he added.
After initially responding to the shooting, authorities eventually confirmed that the shooter had been “eliminated” but that there were injured and dead victims at the scene.
