Perpetrator of tragic shooting at Prague’s Faculty of Arts was not mentally deranged

The perpetrator of last year's tragic shooting at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University was not mentally deranged, according to state attorney Jana Murínová, who is supervising the investigation of the case. Responding to questions from the security committee of the Chamber of Deputies, Murínová said this had been confirmed by an expert in psychiatry who examined the shooter’s health record. Seeking out the help of a psychiatrist does not automatically mean that a person suffers from a mental disorder, the state attorney said. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear. The police have six months in which to present a full report on the case. The shooter, who was a student of the faculty went on a rampage in December of last year, shooting 14 people and injuring 25.
