After the fatal gun attack on Charles University in Prague on December 21, the Faculty of Arts will remain closed at least until the end of January.
The faculty announced on Friday that the exams at the end of the winter semester in mid-January would take place exclusively on a voluntary basis. Homework can be postponed.
David K. (24) opened fire in the main building of the Faculty of Philosophy at Charles University on December 21. 14 people were shot and 24 others were injured by the hail of bullets. They were taken to various hospitals in the Czech capital.

Eyewitnesses to the attack reported dramatic scenes. “We were having class and suddenly we heard a strange bang,” said one survivor. Then suddenly someone shot through the door. The students barricaded the entrance with benches, then climbed out of windows and jumped onto a balcony below to save themselves.
Man and baby, as well as father, were also killed before a massacre
According to police reports, the gunman had already randomly killed a man and his two-month-old daughter in a Prague suburb on December 15. Shortly before the attack on Charles University, he also murdered his father in the home they shared.
There were no indications of a terrorist background to the attack. The 24-year-old owned his gun legally and had no criminal record. Charles University has launched a fundraiser for the injured and the families of those who died.
