People have been laying flowers and lighting candles outside Carolinum, the seat of Charles University in Prague, in memory of the 14 people killed in Thursday’s shooting incident at the Faculty of Arts. Rector Milena Králíčková said the university has launched a crisis chat service for students and academics to help them come to terms with the tragedy and is doing its utmost to support the families of the victims. She thanked other institutions of higher learning which she said had immediately responded with offers of help and established a collection in aid of the victim’s families. Overnight people contributed 2.5 million crowns to the account.
