Nigeria Tragedy in Prague: Gunman Kills 15 at University in Shocking Mass Shooting

A 24-year-old Czech student went on a shooting spree at his Prague university, killing over 15 people and injuring at least 24 others. The incident, described as the worst mass shooting in the country's history, unfolded after police received a tip that the gunman, from the Kladno region, might be heading to Prague with suicidal intentions. Tragically, the shooter's father was found dead shortly after.

The police evacuated a building where the shooter was supposed to attend a lecture but had to respond to a different one when the assailant changed targets. The gunman, who legally owned multiple firearms, was reportedly inspired by a terrorist attack in Russia.

The police sealed off the area, and disturbing images showed students evacuating with their hands up. Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda expressed the community's shock, acknowledging the emergence of the issue of individual shooters in their midst.

Eyewitnesses shared chilling accounts, with one describing the shooter firing towards a bridge before eventually putting his hands up and discarding the weapon.

The tragic event prompted Prime Minister Petr Fiala to cancel his plans and address the crisis. This rare incident in the Czech Republic, where gun crime is uncommon, has left the community in mourning and shock.
