Rakušan: Ministry, police handled communication correctly after mass shooting

In view of the crisis situation, the Czech police and the Ministry of the Interior handled communication correctly with regard to a mass shooting at a Prague university last month, the interior minister, Vít Rakušan, said on Wednesday.

The minister told reporters that he would task the head of the Czech police force with improving channels of communication with other “soft targets” in case of future tragic events.

Fourteen people lost their lives when a student at the Faculty of Arts in central Prague went on a shooting spree before killing himself. He had earlier murdered a man and his two-month old baby as well as his own father.
