\n OSTRAVA – A 42-year-old gunman killed six people on Tuesday at a hospital waiting room in the eastern Czech city of Ostrava before fleeing and fatally shooting himself in the head, police said.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n It was the worst shooting in the Czech Republic, where gun crime is relatively rare, since a man shot eight people dead and then killed himself at a restaurant in Uhersky Brod in 2015.\n <\/p>\n

\n It was unclear what motivated the shooting, which happened in the early morning at the outpatient clinic of the University Hospital in Ostrava, a city of 290,000 people 350 km (217 miles) east of the capital Prague and near the border with Poland.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n Prime Minister Andrej Babis told reporters it was an \u201cindividual act\u201d.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
