Prague University Shooting: Gunman's Forest Murders Linked to Deadly Rampage

A 24-year-old gunman opened fire at Charles University in Prague, killing 14 people and injuring over 20 others. The gunman, who legally owned weapons, is suspected of having murdered two people in a forest the previous week and also killing his own father earlier in the day. As the shooting unfolded, terrified students hid on a ledge outdoors. The gunman died, but it is unclear whether he shot himself or was killed by officers. The massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in Czech Republic history. European leaders and US President Joe Biden have condemned the violence, and the Czech Republic has declared a day of mourning for the victims.
