OSTRAVA - A 42-year-old gunman killed six people on Tuesday at a hospital waiting room in the eastern Czech city of Ostrava before fleeing and fatally shooting himself in the head, police said.
It was the worst shooting in the Czech Republic, where gun crime is relatively rare, since a man shot eight people dead and then killed himself at a restaurant in Uhersky Brod in 2015. It was unclear what motivated the shooting, which happened in the early morning at the outpatient clinic of the University Hospital in Ostrava, a city of 290,000 people 350 km east of the capital Prague and near the border with Poland.

LOOK: Flood chaos across City of Tshwane | Pretoria NewsRain-triggered disasters, including flash floods and landslides, crushed the Mamelodi informal settlement located on the riverbed. Why do they always build on a river bed? Same thing along the Jukskei. Surely they know if it rains for a few days in a row, they going to potentially wash away. It happens every single time. Who allowed them to build on a river bed. What was town planning doing when building commenced? That's what laws & rules are for! FFS let's just get the basics right as a starting point.
