Tragic Day in Prague: University Under Attack

  The perpetrator behind the horrifying incident has been identified as 24-year-old David Kozak. Allegedly, Kozak committed patricide before proceeding to the city, where he indiscriminately shot people from a balcony at the Charles University Arts facility.

Current reports indicate that the assailant has left a tragic toll of at least 15 casualties, including his father, who was discovered lifeless earlier in the day. The shocking events unfolded in Prague, with students seeking refuge on a building ledge as the assailant unleashed gunfire within a university structure. The distressing episode transpired on Thursday at Charles University in Jan Palach Square, renowned as the Czech Republic's oldest and largest university.

Details surrounding the incident's initiation remain unclear. Images from the scene depict students desperately hanging off the building in an attempt to evade the shooter's line of sight. There were moments when the gunman approached the students, as evidenced by sightings on the roof, where he aimed his rifle downward. Czech police have reported 10 fatalities, along with numerous injuries, and have confirmed the "elimination" of the assailant, whose identity remains undisclosed.

Amidst the chaos, the university's philosophy department was evacuated, with numerous individuals observed fleeing the scene. An email communication issued to the faculty emphasized the imperative of staying put, securing offices by locking doors and barricading them with furniture, and extinguishing lights to ensure safety. The gravity of the situation underscores the need for a comprehensive investigation into the motives and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident at Charles University.
