Twenty-five others wounded in attack at Charles University as local media name suspect as David Kozák

The Czech Republic has declared Saturday a day of mourning after a 24-year-old student killed 14 people and wounded 25 others at his Prague university in what is believed to be the worst mass shooting in the Czech Republic’s modern history.

The death toll from Thursday’s shooting at Charles University in the city centre stood at 14, the interior minister, Vit Rakušan, said on Czech television on Friday. Authorities said three foreign nationals, two from Saudi Arabia and one from the Netherlands, were among 25 wounded.
