The shooting occurred at Charles University, Prague, killing 14 people. The shooter was a 24-year-old man. University staff try to protect themselves with barricade in the room when the incident takes place. The terrible event began at 15:00 local time in the Arts Building section.
There is proof of video that records the shooting incident, where many people jumped to save themselves from the shooting. Police did not know what the motive of the perpetrators was for carrying out the shooting. Based on existing information, there were no fatalities from the police. But the police suspect that the perpetrators in this case were also responsible for the deaths of two people in the forest near Prague.
There Was a Process of Lecturing When the Shooting Taking Place in Prague
There was a witness to the incident, a professor at the university Sergei Medvedev. The professor was in the Charles Auditorium of the university when the shooting occurred. He was teaching when the shooting happened, so he did not realize. The students listened to strange sounds and immediately realized that there was a big incident.
An hour later, a squad of police entered the room and evacuated us out of the building. While the first shot occurs on the road when there are many people crossing the road, people do not understand that it was gunfire because they thought it was Firecracker’s voice. The second shot took place and made people panic and run.
Many students are also trapped in the classroom. They tried to lock the door of the room and block it with furniture to prevent the shooter from entering the room. Even faculty staff warned via email that the classrooms should be turned off and stay indoors.
The incident made many students at Charles University scared. While European Commission President Ursula was shocked by the shooting incident that occurred at the oldest university in the Czech Republic, Charles University is a university that has been established since 1347, so it is included in the oldest category in the Czech Republic. This university is the oldest one in Europe.
