"Prague University Shooting: Survivor Describes Europe's Spreading Epidemic of Gun Violence"
Jakob Weizman, a Danish student at Charles University in Prague, expressed shock and fear after surviving a deadly mass shooting on campus, stating that school shootings are "spreading like a disease" in Europe. The Czech Republic is the latest European country to experience a mass shooting, following incidents in Denmark and Serbia. The motive for the Prague shooting is still under investigation, but there are concerns about the potential for copycat behaviors fueled by social media. The Czech Republic has relatively liberal gun laws compared to other EU countries, and this incident may prompt a national debate on gun ownership and restrictions. In the US, where gun ownership is more prevalent, there have been 642 mass shootings so far this year.
