Internal check concludes police response to Prague shooting was “fast and professional”

An internal check into the police response to the shooting at the Prague Faculty of Arts concluded that the police intervention was “fast, professional and fully in line with internal regulations”, the head of the internal investigations unit Michal Tikovský said at a press briefing in Prague. He said the professional response to the crisis had saved lives and confirmed that it had not been possible to gun down the attacker from his position on the roof of the building. However he said crisis communication could have been better, pointing out that the faculty and university management was not informed immediately about the danger.
