At least 15 people were shot dead by a gunman from a balcony on the faculty of arts at the University of Prague on Thursday, with the gunman reported by local media to have fallen from the roof.
A mass shooter has been “eliminated” and “here are several dead and dozens of injured” around the faculty of arts building at the University of Prague, Czech police said on Thursday. Czech newspaper Lidové Noviny reports the mayor of Prague Bohuslav Svoboda told their publication that the presumed shooter had fallen from the building and was now dead. Images circulated on social media show a man identified as the attacker holding a long arm with scope at the balcony rail near the roof of the building.
Update 1740 — Death toll revised upwards
A police press conference reveals some developments, and tragically among them is a revised death toll of 15, up from 10 cited earlier. 24 people are said to be receiving medical treatment. Not all of those killed died of gunshot wounds, and some of the dead fell from the university building while trying to escape the gunman.
Police also say they were hunting for the gunman before the shooting, but were looking in the wrong university building, believing he was about to attack the philosophy department. The attack was instead launched at the arts building of Prague’s Charles University. The gunman is reported to have already shot his father earlier in the day in the village of Kladensko, and as police attempted to find the 24-year-old, discovered he was scheduled to give a lecture at the university on Thursday afternoon.

Was he yelling Allahu Akbar?
Prague is a beautiful city, wonder if the perp was pro-gaza.
It looks like about 3% of citizens are gun owners.
The Czech Republic is one of a few European countries trying to reform its gun laws to allow people to carry.
Weekend at Biden’s

Republicans will win with Biden as the nominee
So sad. We watch Christmas in Prague channels on YouTube. What a gorgeous city. I’ll be shocked if this wasn’t either Marxist or Islamic.

He probably was and that doesn’t surprise me at this point, given the Europeans love for migrants and open borders.
I guess the shrinks are now using the same drugs there that they use here to create mass killers. It’s good for the mental health business.
At least the Czechs won’t have to worry about Guns and ammo they bought some maj0r American ammo and Gun companies.
Clearly we need to send them $25 billion dollars and several thousand “gun free zone” signs.
It was a 24-year-old student. He had killed his father earlier in the day:
His purported name and photo were posted to Twitter (now X) showing a young white guy with a Czech name. Whether it was correct, I can’t say.
It sounds to me like a typical US mass shooting where the murderer was mentally ill or very mentally unstable. But so much we don’t know yet.
“ At least the Czechs won’t have to worry about Guns and ammo they bought some maj0r American ammo and Gun companies.”
They have been making high-quality firearms and ammunition for many, many years.
Nazis wanted Czechoslovakia mainly to get the Skoda Works.
OK, so call me a conspiracy theorist...
