1 day ago Bells ring across Czech Republic to mourn shooting victims

Bells rang across the Czech Republic on Saturday and flags flew at half mast as the nation mourned the 14 people killed at a Prague university on Thursday.

Archbishop Jan Graubner served a mass at the main St Vitus cathedral at the Prague Castle and the country observed a minute of silence at noon.

“We’re all still in a shock in our own ways,” the archbishop said, adding: “We need to clearly condemn what happened but we also need to look into the future.”

“Nobody should be left alone in these tough moments,” Charles University rector Milena Kralickova said in her remarks toward the end of the Mass.

“It’s been a horrible experience for us all but it still can’t be compared with what the victims had to experience at the time of the attack and what their dear ones have to experience now,” said Milos Vystrcil, speaker of the Senate who came to light a candle.

“I think that to help them at this point we express our support and that’s what we’re all doing now.”

British honeymooners told to stay indoors during Prague shooting A British newlywed on honeymoon in Prague describes the moment he and his fiance found out about an active gunman in the city on Thursday, 21 December. Tom Leese, 34, and wife Rachael, 31, were in a bar when a police officer notified the couple and ordered them to stay down and inside during a mass shooting in the centre of the Czech Republic capital. “He (the police officer) responded in very clear English that there was an active shooter. Told us to get down, stay indoors, and turn all the lights off,” Mr Leese said. “We went to the corner of the restaurant, we stood there in the dark corner and basically stood there for five or 10 minutes, really quite terrified and not knowing what was going on.”

1 day ago Lone gunman in Czech mass shooting had no record and slipped through cracks despite owning 8 guns

Czech politicians tend to boast that their country is one of the safest in the world from gun violence. But the worst mass killing in the nation’s history this week — along with other shootings over the last decade — suggest that might not be true.

At the Faculty of Arts department at Charles University, where 14 people were killed and dozens wounded Thursday, the shooter was an excellent student, police said. But the 24-year-old also had a proclivity for firearms, with a license to own eight guns, including two long guns, police said.

Authorities said the lone assailant had no criminal record and therefore did not attract the attention of authorities.
