STORYLINE:
Mourners in Prague held a moment of silence on Saturday to honour the victims of the worst mass killing in Czech history.
Church bells tolled at noon and flags on public buildings were at half-staff on the national day of mourning.
The shooting inside a university building at the heart of the Czech capital on Thursday left 14 dead and dozens injured.
Police and prosecutors said they have evidence the 24-year-old shooter also killed his father earlier in the day and a man and a baby in Prague last week.
Authorities said that 13 people died at the scene in the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and one died later in a hospital.
A total of 25 people were wounded, including three foreign nationals.
