I heard this on the news a few minutes ago, they got the shooter so with luck they wont find any more dead.

What do we know so far?

At about 15:40 Prague time (14:40 GMT), reports started coming in of a mass shooting in the Czech capital.
Police said they were responding to an incident at the faculty of arts of Charles University, in central Prague, and said several people had been killed or injured.
The latest update we’ve heard is that Czech emergency services have said that ten people were killed and about three dozen were injured. The gunman was "eliminated".

'We heard gunshots and ran for cover'

Joe Hyland, 18, from Truro, Cornwall, is on holiday with friends in Prague and was in a street near the attack when he heard the shooting.
"We heard gunshots and ran for cover in the metro after police shouted at everyone to run. It was very frightening.
"All of a sudden people started running. We didn’t know what was going on. We saw police going past us. They were shouting 'run'."
Hyland is now back safely at his hotel.
"We rang our parents straight away. This was our first holiday with just us lads."

Gunman's body found at university faculty

The gunman's "lifeless body" was found at the university, the police president says.
He also confirms that 15 people were killed and 24 were hurt in the attack, and adds that it's thought the shooter was inspired by similar massacres that have taken place abroad.
The mass shooting is not linked to international terrorism, Vit Rakusan, the Czech minister of the interior, told reporters.
