PM Fiala: Prague shooting not act of terrorism

Thursday’s shooting at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University was neither international terrorism nor the act of an organised group, Prime Minister Petr Fiala told reporters on Thursday. At the moment, it appears that was the act of a lone gunman, he said.

The Czech Prime Minister said the security forces have assured him that they have the situation fully under control and that there is no danger to citizens. He also asked everyone to cooperate with the police and follow their instruction.

In reaction to the fatal shooting, Mr Fiala  has called an emergency meeting of the government on Thursday evening.
