Czech media published the name of the suspect – David Kozak. According to preliminary data, the shooter is a 24-year-old student from the city of Hostouň.
Users in Telegram found the channel David Kozák, where in December there were recordings (suddenly) in Russian language about plans to “do a school shooting and possibly suicide”. However, it is not known whether he is related to the shooter.
In the channel, the author says he was inspired by a similar terrorist attack that took place in Russia in the fall. He also said that he made the channel private and that he would open it publicly only hours before the attack.
Here are some excerpts from the channel allegedly run by the shooter: “I want to do school shooting and possibly suicide….. This channel is a diary where I will talk about my life before the shooting,” the possible Prague shooter wrote back on Dec. 10. “I’ve just been hated, hated, and will be hated by everyone. I don’t give a f*ck because it’s mutual.” “I hate the world and I want to bring as much pain as possible.” “My ears are ringing like fireflies. I wanted to rip my ears out.”
At the moment it is known that 15 people have been killed, 25 injured in the shooting at Charles University in Prague, Czechia Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said.
