United Nations: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was shocked and saddened by a mass shooting at a university in Czech capital Prague, his spokesman said on Thursday.

The secretary-general expressed his deepest condolences to the victims’ families and wished those injured a speedy and full recovery, the spokesman Stephane Dujarric said, according to a statement.

The spokesman said the UN chief also reiterated his full solidarity with the people and government of the Czech Republic.
