A shooting in central Prague at a university building in Jan Palach Square has resulted in 10 people dead and nine seriously injured. Armed police responded to the incident, urging people to leave surrounding streets and stay indoors. An email to staff at Charles University's Faculty of Arts instructed them to "stay put" with locked doors and barricaded offices. Interior Minister Vit Rakusan confirmed the shooter's death, assuring no further immediate danger but urging cooperation with the police investigation. The square has been sealed off, and images on social media captured crowds fleeing the scene.
