Murder spree at university after gunman kills his dad

- MATTHEW YOUNG

A GUNMAN slaughtering killed his dad before at least 14 people at a university in Prague.

Police did not confirm the attacker's identity last night but he was named by local media as David Kozak, 24, a student at the university's faculty of arts.

It is the worst shooting in the Czech Republic's history.

It left 25 injured, at least 11 seriously.

Images show students cowering on a high ledge of a building in a bid to hide during the rampage.

Others barricaded themselves in classrooms.

Photos showed the killer with a rifle and tripod on a balcony as he mowed people down.

Terrified students fled the Charles University faculty of arts building as shots rang out at around 3pm, before the gunman apparently killed himself.

A student, Jakob Weizman, said: "Currently stuck inside my classroom.

"Shooter is dead, but we are waiting to be evacuated. Praying to make it out alive. Locked the door before the shooter tried to open it."
