Students now able to return to Faculty of Arts for belongings

Students and staff at the Faculty of Arts at Prague’s Charles University were allowed to return to collect personal items on Wednesday, Czech Television reported. Fourteen people were killed at the faculty last Thursday after a lone gunman went on the rampage in Czechia’s worst ever mass shooting.

People were allowed to pick up their belongings at one entrance to the facility, on producing ID and signing for the items.

The entrance to the main faculty building is completely covered in candles, with the spot on Jan Palach Square having become an informal memorial since the killings.
