The UN Secretary-General has reiterated his full solidarity with the people and Government of the Czech Republic in the wake of the mass shooting at the Charles University in Prague on Thursday.
At least 14 people were killed and 25 injured after a gunman opened fire in what some media called the worst shooting in the country’s history.
The gunman, reportedly a student at the university, also killed himself.
UN chief António Guerres was shocked and saddened by the incident, his Spokesperson said in a statement issued later on Thursday.
Mr. Guterres expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wished those injured a speedy and full recovery.
