STORYLINE:
Czech police on Friday provided bodycam footage of their operation during the country's worst mass shooting in which a gunman killed 14 people.
Three foreign nationals were among the 25 people wounded when a student opened fire at a university in the Czech capital, Prague, killing 14 people before killing himself on Thursday, authorities said.
The mass shooting was one of the Czech Republic’s worst attacks in recent years.
Minister Vit Rakusan said police in Prague worked overnight and all the 14 have been identified and that the 15th dead was the gunman.
He said three of those wounded were foreigners — two from United Arab Emirates and one from the Netherlands, the Czech Foreign Ministry confirmed.
Petr Matejcek, the director of the police regional headquarters in Prague said the gunman killed himself at the balcony of the university building when police officers approached him.
The bloodshed took place on Thursday at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, where the 24-year-old shooter was a student, Prague Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said.
The gunman's name has not been released.
Authorities warned that the death toll could rise.
