The tragic mass shooting at Charles University's Faculty of Arts in Prague has left 15 dead and 24 injured. The police president confirms the gunman's "lifeless body" was discovered at the university, revealing the suspect's inspiration from similar international massacres. Not linked to terrorism, the 24-year-old gunman, also a student at the university, hailed from a village near Prague. Petr Nedoma, director of the Rudolfinum Gallery at a concert hall across Palach Square, told Czech TV: "I saw a young person on the gallery who had some weapon in his hand, like and automatic weapon, and shooting toward the Manes Bridge. Repeatedly, with some interruptions, then I saw as he shot, put hands up and threw the weapon down on the street, it lay there on the pedestrian crossing." Shockingly, the gunman's father was found dead earlier in the day. This incident marks the deadliest shooting in Czech history since independence, overshadowing previous attacks in Ostrava in 2019 and Uhersky Brod in 2015.
