Teen Charged with Double Murder in Hradec Kralove Mall Stabbing

A tragic knife attack occurred at a shopping center in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, where a 16-year-old attacker killed two women, believed to be employees at the store. The incident took place on Thursday morning, and authorities have reported that there is no evidence to suggest it was a terrorist act, with victims appearing to have been chosen at random. The attacker was apprehended shortly after the incident, about a kilometer away, with a knife found in close proximity. Prime Minister Petr Fiala condemned the attack as 'absolutely incomprehensible and horrible,' offering condolences to the families of the victims. While initial reports indicated that one victim was seriously injured, both women ultimately succumbed to their injuries despite resuscitation efforts. The investigation into the motive for the attack is ongoing, and security measures in the city have not been escalated as there is no immediate threat to public safety.
