Professor Radek Samik found himself in the midst of danger while teaching a class at Charles University.
The tranquility of the lecture was shattered when a gunman entered the building, firing shots indiscriminately. Trapped on the first floor, he distinctly heard the chilling sound of single gunshots.
Meanwhile, Jakob Weizman, a journalist and student, was taking a language exam in a small room on a higher floor. The sudden eruption of “gunshots” and “screaming” threw him into a state of panic. Seeking safety, Weizman and his teacher locked themselves in the classroom.
The situation took a terrifying turn when, five minutes later, the assailant attempted to open their classroom door. Weizman recounted the assailant’s methodical approach, going through each classroom in search of victims.
Eventually, the police intervened, rescuing Weizman and his teacher from the building. The aftermath revealed a gruesome scene, with blood staining the faculty as a grim testament to the tragedy.
