Prague shooting tops Czech Republic’s violence record
A gunman opened fire in a small eastern Czech town restaurant killing eight and wounding a waitress before shooting himself. The shooter, about 60, held a gun license and called a local TV station to vent about police. Authorities say it was not terrorism and the town of Uhersky Brod, with Ceska Zbrojovka nearby, has 17,000 residents.
