Men who applauded university shooter on social media identified

The Central Bohemian Police have identified two men who in the past few days expressed admiration on social media for last Thursday's mass shooting at Charles University's Faculty of Arts and publicly applauded the perpetrator for carrying out the attack. Criminal proceedings have begun against both of them, the police stated on X (formerly Twitter).

The police have so far responded to around 60 reports of the shooting being publicly condoned. In around half of the cases, they have already established the identity of the specific people involved.
