People run across Charles Bridge in the Czech capital Prague after a gunman killed at least 15 people and injured as many as 30 others in an attack on a university building in the city center before being "eliminated," the Czech police announced, Dec. 21, 2023.
๐ Police said they responded to a call about 3 p.m. to Charles University, which is located on Prague's Jan Palach Square in the historic Old Town district. They reported that at least one university building, the square and several surrounding streets were evacuated.
Police later said the shooter had been “eliminated,” without offering details about the shooter or the victims. In a statement, Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said no other assailant was at the scene and urged people to cooperate with police.
