There is national mourning in the Czech Republic after the massacre in Prague. Meanwhile, the killer is cursed in his hometown.
Hostouň is a sleepy town of 1,230 inhabitants about 30 kilometers from the University of Prague, where a 24-year-old psychopath and gun madman caused a massacre on Thursday, shooting 14 people. Before his rampage, student David K., who grew up in Hostouň, killed his father. In the parental home!
Now the beautiful bunk house is empty. The blinds are drawn, a KIA station wagon is parked under the carport and the walnut tree in front of the house is covered in snow. “As children we occasionally played under this tree,” remembers 24-year-old Stephan. “I was in the same kindergarten group as David at the time. And now this madness!”, says the technician, who is currently walking his husky.
Motive remains unclear
The Czech cannot and will not say anything about the shooter’s private life or motive. Especially since he doesn’t know why his former friend became a murderer.
Other residents also do not speak out about what is probably the most terrible fellow citizen in their village. But they curse him with looks and hand gestures. A woman spits on the ground when she hears the name David. No one here can understand how one of them became such a monster.
