A gunman has killed and injured multiple people in the Czech capital of Prague, police said on Thursday. Reports suggest that the incident took place at a university campus.
Czech police rushed to Jan Palach square in central Prague on Thursday afternoon amid reports of a shooting. In a post to social media, the force said that “dead and injured people” were found at the scene, and that the square had been shut down.
With a police operation still ongoing half an hour after the first reports, officers urged nearby civilians to remain indoors.
