A mass shooting at a university in Prague has left 11 people dead – including the gunman – and nine seriously wounded, says the Czech capital’s emergency services department.

Czech police on Thursday said they were responding to the shooting in Jan Palach Square near Prague’s Old Town Square, before reporting that the gunman had been “eliminated.”

The shooting happened around 3pm (14:00 GMT) at the Charles University’s Faculty of Arts, which sits near major tourist sites like the 14th-century Charles Bridge.

“At the moment I can say there are 11 dead people on the scene including the gunman,” emergency services spokeswoman Jana Postova told public Czech TV.An ambulance drives towards the building of the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University in downtown Prague

Police gave no details about the victims or the circumstances of the gunfire. Jana Postova, a spokesperson for Prague’s rescue service, confirmed numerous people were injured but had no details.

The violence in the Czech city’s historic centre sparked panic, a massive police response and warnings for people to stay indoors.

The private outlet TV Nora reported a blast and a gunman on the roof of the building in Prague’s historic centre.

Interior Minister Vit Rakusan told the public Czech TV that “no other gunman has been confirmed” and called on people to follow police instructions.

According to Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda, the philosophy department of Charles University was later evacuated.
