Shooting in a Czech restaurant – level 2

02-03-2015 07:00

A man burst into a restaurant in a Czech town. It was around lunch time, and there were around twenty people in there. The man had two guns with him and he began shooting.

He killed eight people and he injured a few more. One woman suffered serious chest wounds. The man then killed himself.

The mentally unstable man was in his sixties. This was not a terror attack.

Difficult words: burst into (to enter fast and with a lot of force), wound (an injury, damage to the body), mentally unstable (his mind was not OK).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
