• Ten people are killed in a mass shooting in downtown Prague, the Czech rescue service says, reports AP

Czech police say a shooting in downtown Prague has killed an unspecified number of people and wounded others.

Police gave no details about the victims or the circumstances of Thursday's gunfire in the Czech Republic's capital.

They say officers were deployed due to a shooting at a school in Jan Palach Square.

The Philosophical Faculty of Charles University and the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design are located in that area.

Czech police said the gunman had killed several people at a university building in central Prague before being "eliminated".
