Prague shooting: Gunman dead after killing more than 15 at Charles University
Prague shooting: Gunman dead after killing more than 15 at Charles University
Another 24 people are also injured in the deadliest attack in modern Czech history, officials say.
Great, so the American lifestyle arrived here as well.
Czecholslovakia already had a significant far-right demographic, I don't think this is something that can be blamed on the US, this is just the result of conservativism anywhere.
Protecting mass shooters is a right wing thing, which their right wing may or may not do as a consequence of this. Mass shootings themselves outside of terrorism were first popularized by the Columbine shooting which inspired many copycats hoping to become as notorious. Thankfully the article calls this POS "the gunman" instead of giving them the infamy they may have wanted.
Just tragic... the only positive thing is that this being the deadliest shooting in Czech's more recent history shows how rarely they occur.
News media seems focused on the Czech Republic adopting and practicing American-style active-shooter drills.
Because we all should live in panic? It's not America: restrict guns harder and be okay with it.

Police said the gunman had also been "eliminated" following the shooting at Charles University - the deadliest attack in modern Czech history.
Police received first reports of shooting at the university's Faculty of Arts on Jan Palach Square in the centre of the capital after 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT).
"One hour later, another police squad broke in and then put us on the floor, briefly searched us then evacuated from the building," the professor added.
"Currently stuck inside my classroom in Prague," Jakob Weizman, a student at Charles University, wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
It read: "Stay put, don't go anywhere, if you're in the offices, lock them and place furniture in front of the door, turn off the lights."
