A gunman has killed 14 people and injured 25 at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, making it the deadliest attack in modern Czech history. The 24-year-old gunman was subsequently eliminated after the shooting at the university’s Faculty of Arts building. Prime Minister Petr Fiala canceled his upcoming engagements in response to the tragic events. The shooting occurred in the historic center of Prague and prompted university staff to barricade themselves in rooms. Dramatic footage captured people jumping to safety from the building’s ledges, and gunshots were heard. Reports suggest that the motive behind the attack is currently unknown. The area surrounding the university remains sealed off, and authorities are investigating the possibility that the gunman may have been involved in two deaths last week in a forest near Prague. Charles University, founded in 1347, is not only the oldest university in the Czech Republic but also one of the oldest in Europe.
