    About 6 months ago we had a similar shooting in Serbia for the first time as well. I still remember the strong feelings of shock, sadness, disgust and uneasiness. We as citizens are still processing them, these events deeply affect and change the society.
    My condolences Czech citizens, especially to the ones that lost a loved one, I hope you recover soon and that this doesn't happen ever again anywhere.

      @@solinvictus6587 You have to own a firearm licence (which is not easy to get), but still you cannot buy any gun you wish. There are some groups of guns according to their heaviness and caused damage so owning a firearm licence doesnt allow you to buy any gun but a certain group you are allowed to. Every gun a legal "shooter" buys has to be registered so I am very curious what the police will say about how and where he got these guns and if the owned them legally.

Our priorities are not what they should be in order to be considered a successful or intelligent species.

    rather biased and superficial reporting. its far from easy to get gun in Czechia, the tests are thorough and not easy to pass. and for the security- in Czechia is not common to lock public buildings and install metal detectors everywhere, its not American high school.
    this was apparently lone wolf attack, and perpetrator clearly developed some mental issues, individual incidents like this are impossible to predict and they cant be prevented, such tragedies unfortunately gonna happen from time to time in every society, and if Czechia despite its constitution and centuries long traditions ban or further limits access to guns there just gonna be knife instead of gun attack sometime in the future( or they get inspired in Germany and use truck as ram into ppl)
    And for the security- its university for gods sake, for adults many of whom may have multiple reason to visit it without actually being student, and its publicly funded university, too, its really sad that western journalists now deem normal for schools and public building to be treated as nurseries at best and high security jails at worst...

    There are no security mesurements in our (Czech) universities. At lest non that I know of. This is primarily because there are no mass shootings here and the country we live in is safe (one of the safest on Earth). You can actualy walk in even if you are not a student or teacher.

    This is not a gun problem, it’s a people problem. People in this country need to treat others with kindness. What is the motive to this tragedy.

      Yes, if you can read Czech there is more information available at this time.

      Why on earth would you want the picture of the gunman? He was a young Czech. I agree with Jacinda Ardern: "We won´t even give them their names." There are much more important people fighting for their lives in hospitals now. People who teach languages, contribute to international cooperation, help catch criminals by translating international arrest orders.

    Here in America, most shootings occurred because of racism and hate, but this recent shooting in Prague is something that correlates to mental health issues. Otherwise, this tragedy it shouldn't be arose in a nation like Prague.
