A deadly shooting took the lives of 14 people on Thursday, December 21, at Charles University in Prague (Czech Republic). The shooter, aged 24, was a student at this university. He would have been inspired by killings recently committed in Russia.
Jiri Forman, Czech journalist, found himself on Thursday, December 21, face to face with the man who killed 14 people during a shooting at Charles University in Prague (Czech Republic). This Czech cameraman was one of the first to arrive at the scene of the tragedy. The attacker had then just taken up a position on the roofs of the university, with his semi-automatic rifle. While he was shooting at the students who were trying to flee, the journalist had the reflex to question him. He asked her to shoot him, because he knew he was a good distance from the killer.
The killer was actively sought
David Kozak, 24, was a university student himself. The assailant ended up killing himself at the scene of his massacre. David Kozak was actively sought. According to police, he shot his father shortly before the shooting. He is also believed to be the author of a double murder committed in a forest last week, east of Prague. He seems to have been inspired by several killings committed in Russia recently, but his motivations remain incomprehensible to the hundreds of Prague residents who came to pray in front of the university on Friday.
