Video captures hero shouting, ‘Shoot here, you f–ker!’ to distract Prague gunman during rampage
Harrowing video captured the moment a heroic man was heard shouting, “Shoot here, you f–ker!” to distract the Prague gunman as he unleashed a hail of bullets from hiꦯs sniper’s nest atop a university building.
The chilling footage obtained captures Czech student David Kozak, 24, who killed at least 14 people and wounded 25 others, as he fires a high-powered ZEV-30 rifle from his perch on the balcony of Charles University’s Faculty of Arts building.
“Hey, you! Shoot here! Shoot here, you f–ker!” a brave man can be heard yelling at him from below.
But the undete༒rred gunman calmly continues to spray bullets at his targets.
“He is shooting! Get to cover!” shouts the man, who desperately tried to alert cops to the shooter’s exact location, according to the Sun.
The history student later died in what authorities believe was likely a sui⭕cide after the Czech Republic’s deadliest mass shooting.
Kozak, who i🌳s believed to have killed his own father before carrying out the rampage, also is suspected of kil▨ling a 32-year-old man and his 2-month-old daughter in Prague a week ago, Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said.
Their bodies were found on Dec. 15 in a wooded area of Klanovice, 11 miles e☂ast of Prague’s city center, in what appears to have been a random attack, .

“We are working very 🧔seriously with the version, which is very real at the moment, that today’s attacker is also responsible for the two victims killed last Friday at Klanovice forest,” Vondrasek said.
“I am convinced at this point that these were compl📖etely randomly s♍elected victims by a person with no criminal record whatsoever,” he said.
Meanwhile, one of the victims in Thursday’s shooting has been identified as Lenka Hlavkova, 🌸the head of the Institute of Musicology at the university’s Faculty of Arts, the Czech Interior Ministry sa🐼id.
She is believed to have le🙈ft behind two school-age sons, according to the outlet.
Vondrasek said Kozak was a student in the philosophy department of Charles University and♔ described him as an excellent student with no criminal𓆉 record.
Authorities had “uncꦫonfirmed information from an account on a social network that he was supposedly inspired by one terrorist attack in Russia in the autumn of this year,” Vondrasek said.
A Telegram account under the shooter’s name contained troubling posts like “I hate the world and want to leave as much pain a𓆉s possible.”
A post from Tuesday read, “I♛ have a ringing in my ears … like some kind of f–king fireflies. I wไanted to rip my ears out.”
