PRAGUE (AP) — Two women have died in a knife attack on Thursday
at a shopping center in the Czech Republic, officials said.
Police say they detained a teenage suspect in connection with
the stabbings in a store in the city of Hradec Kralove, some 100
east of Prague.
Reports initially said the victims had been injured, one of them
seriously, but police later said both had died. They were not
identified.
A 16-year-old Czech national was detained by police about one 1
kilometer (0.6 miles) from the scene, shortly after the attack.
A knife was found nearby.
Prime Minister Petr Fiala offered his condolences to the
relatives of the dead.
“What has happened in Hradec Kralove today is an absolutely
incomprehensible and horrible act,” he posted on X.
The motive for the attack was not immediately known.
Police say the situation was under control and there was no
danger to the public. No other details were immediately
available.
