Tonight's coverage now closed
We’re closing our live blog now, thanks for following along on what has been a very sad today so close to Christmas.
Here’s what we’ve learned so far about today’s mass shooting:
- A 24-year-old student killed at least 14 people and wounded 25 more at a Prague university with authorities fearing the death toll to rise
- The suspect has been named in Czech media as 24-year-old David Kozak and he also died at the scene in unknown circumstances
- The shooting was not linked to international terrorism, the Czech government said, but police say they are looking into "ery fresh unconfirmed information from an account on a social network that he was supposedly inspired by one terrorist attack in Russia"
- The suspect’s father was found dead in a village 13 miles from the Czech capital earlier on Thursday
Police say that based on a search of the shooter's home, he was suspected in the killing of another man and his two-month-old daughter in the east of Prague earlier this month
