Bells tolled across the Czech Republic and flags flew at half-mast as the country mourned the victims of the country's worst mass shooting that killed 14 people at a Prague university on Thursday.

Archbishop Jan Graubner said Mass at the main cathedral of St Vitus in Prague Castle and the country observed a minute's silence at midday, with people stopping on streets amid heavy rain and snow and in shopping malls for Christmas shopping.

A 24-year-old student opened fire in the Faculty of Arts at Charles University on Thursday, killing 13 people and then himself. Another person later died in hospital.

Students lit thousands of candles at makeshift memorials in the arts faculty and nearby university headquarters./ CNA
