Flags fly at half mast and minute's silence observed two days after Charles University student killed 14 people

Bells rang out and flags flew at half mast on Saturday as the Czech Republic mourned the 14 victims of the country's worst mass shooting.

The archbishop, Jan Graubner, said mass at the main St Vitus cathedral at Prague Castle and a minute of silence was observed at midday, with people stopping in streets amid heavy rain and snow, and in malls while Christmas shopping.
