Officials say the shooter is at large. The shooting happened Tuesday morning in the University hospital in the city of Ostrava, located 220 miles east of Prague. The Sun, a British newspaper, reported that patients have been evacuated from the building.
Jan Hamacek, the country’s interior minister, told CT24: “There is a regional police intervention unit and a rapid deployment unit” deployed at the scene.
