A morning incident on a housing estate in Ostrava-Zábřeh in which a firearm was discharged ended tragically for the perpetrator himself. Police officers found him dead, with a gunshot wound to the head being the cause of death.
Before his death, the man managed to attack his wife, shooting her in the back of the body. The emergency medical service transported the woman to hospital. According to current information from doctors and security authorities, although she suffered serious injuries, her life is not in direct danger.
Security force spokesperson Eva Michalíková confirmed that there is no longer any threat to the surrounding area. "The man was found at the scene without signs of life. No one faces any danger. We will provide further information once the situation permits," she told the media.
