A 24-year-old student carried out the Czech Republic's deadliest shooting in decades, killing 14 and injuring 25 at Charles University in Prague before being 'eliminated'.
Authorities revealed the gunman, who possessed a 'huge arsenal', was also suspected of killing his father and a mother and child days prior, and was reportedly inspired by a 'similar case in Russia'.
The horrific event triggered a massive police response, city-wide warnings, a declared national day of mourning on December 23, and widespread international condolences.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
