 Biden Mourns 15 Killed In Prague University, Says Shooting Senseless

Biden, in a tweet shared on his official X handle (formerly Twitter), sent his condolences to the families of those affected, calling it a senseless shooting. 


Biden stated that the US authorities were in touch with Czech law enforcement, and the United States government was willing to offer additional support if needed. 


According to multiple sources, the 24-year-old Czech student (name withheld) allegedly shot dead his father before going further to kill 14 others and injure 25 people. 


The tweet read, "My heart is with those who lost their lives in the senseless shooting in Prague, those injured, and the Czech people. 


"Our authorities are in touch with Czech law enforcement, and we stand ready to offer additional support if needed." 


However, the Czech government has declared a day of mourning across the central European country for December 23 to remember the victims.
