Czech shooting: Gunman ‘kills eight’ in Uhersky Brod

A gunman has opened fire at a restaurant in the Czech Republic, killing at least eight people before shooting himself dead, officials say.
The man burst into the restaurant in the eastern town of Uhersky Brod around lunchtime, “shooting indiscriminately”, the town’s mayor Patrik Kuncar said.
The incident is not believed to be terrorism related.
Several people were injured in the attack, with one woman said to be seriously injured.
Czech Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said the incident was the work of a “crazed individual”.
The gunman has been indentified as a local man aged 60.
Some 20 people were thought to have been in the restaurant at the time.
“I’m rattled by this event. I never would have imagined something like this happening here, in a restaurant that I know well,” Mr Kuncar told state television.
