He sent his sincere condolences to the victims’ families in a heartfelt post on X. “Saddened to learn of the shooting at Charles University in Prague. “My sincere sympathies go out to the victims’ families,” wrote EAM Jaishankar. According to CNN, a shooting at a university in Prague on Thursday resulted in up to 14 fatalities and 25 injuries.
In a press conference on Thursday, Czech Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said the information he had received so far indicated the shooter took his own life, but added it was not yet confirmed. He also said the suspect had not been formally identified because of the severity of his injuries.
In a later news conference on Thursday night, Vondrasek revised the number of people killed to 14, after previously saying 15 people had died. Of the 25 people injured, ten were in serious condition, the police chief said, as per CNN.
Emergency services earlier said that nine people had been severely injured, five or six received medium-severe injuries and ten were lightly injured. The authorities have also revised down an earlier number of people injured, but said those could still change given the developing situation.
