Three foreign nationals were among the wounded in the Prague university shooting incident that killed 14 and injured around 25. The incident occurred at Charles University when a student opened fire on Friday.
The shooting was one of the Czech Republic's worst attacks in recent years.
According to the police, the 24-year-old shooter, identified as David Kozak, had killed himself after the shooting, reported BBC. According to police chief, Martin Vondrasek, Kozak was an excellent student with no criminal record.
Kozak, a history student had excellent results. He graduated in European history, continued his masters’ studies in which he focused on Polish history. He was also considered to have some mental issues as well.
Reportedly, Kozak kept a diary in Russian on Telegram, where he spoke of his plans for a school shooting and suicide.
“I want to do school shooting and possibly suicide” and “I always wanted to kill. I thought I would become a maniac in the future,” he wrote in a post.
Police said the shooter had legally owned several guns based on his home search and that he was heavily armed during the attack.
In the wake of the incident, police have boosted security at schools and other soft targets. According to officials, they did not suspect a link to any extremist ideology or groups.
Minister Vit Rakusan said police in Prague worked overnight and 13 of those killed have been identified. He also said three of those wounded were foreigners two from Saudi Arabia and one from the Netherlands.
Officials also said they believed he had no accomplice.
Leaders from many countries, including the United States, and the UN Secretary-General conveyed their condolences. The Czech government declared Saturday a national day of mourning to honour the victims.
Czech president Petr Pavel wrote "My thoughts are still with families of the victims, injured and those who had to fight for their lives at the Faculty of Arts. No one can imagine the fear and mental strain they went through yesterday. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank for the sincere condolences and words of support, which come from all around the world."
It was back in 2015 that a similar mass shooting incident happened in the nation killing eight before fatally shooting himself.
