The Czech Republic remains stunned Friday following a mass shooting Thursday in Prague at Charles University in which the gunman killed 14 people and wounded 25.
It was the first time the country had experienced a shooting at a school or university.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said he felt "deep sorrow and disgust over this incomprehensible and brutal violence."
Czech President Petr Pavel expressed "helpless anger over the loss of so many young lives."
Local media have identified the gunman as David Kozak.
Police say the gunman, a student at the school, opened fire in a school building Thursday afternoon.
Police had started a search for the shooter after his father had been found dead in a village west of Prague.
The police also said they were investigating the possibility there was a bomb in a campus building.
The police said they came to the university philosophy building, where they knew the suspect was scheduled to be in class, to evacuate the building. The square and streets around it were evacuated, as well.
Video posted to social media showed people fleeing the square, as emergency vehicles arrived at the scene. One group of students was photographed outside crouching on a ledge of a campus building.
One witness at the scene told Czech television he saw a young man on a balcony brandishing what the witness thought was an automatic weapon and shooting toward the Charles Bridge.
The gunman who died on the scene of the shootings is also a suspect in the killings of a man and his 2-month-old daughter, who were found shot to death in the woods in a village outside Prague last week.
The Czech government announced a day of mourning across the country on Saturday to commemorate the victims.
