Prague shooting: Gunman who killed 14 now suspected of murdering father and newborn baby in nearby forest a week ago…
The student who opened fire at a university in Prague, killing at least 14, is also suspected of killing another man and his newborn baby last week.
The gunman killed 14 people and injured 25 during a rampage at Charles University in Prague on Thursday.
He was shot dead after carrying out the horrific attack, the Czech Republic's worst mass shooting. His name has not been officially released but he has been named by media outlets as 24-year-old David Kozak.
Prague Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said police believe the gunman killed his father earlier on Thursday in his hometown of Hostoun, just west of Prague, and that he had also been planning to kill himself.
Police gave no details about a possible motive for the shooting at the building located near the Vltava River in Jan Palach Square, a busy area in the heavily-visited Old Town.
Officers have also linked him to the killing of another man and his two-month-old daughter on December 15 in Klanovice, near Prague.
More than 250 police were sent to search the area and a helicopter with thermal imaging was used to scour the woodland area, but the gunman in that case was never found.
