3 dead in gun rampage at Czech aircraft factory—police

PRAGUE—A shooting rampage at an aircraft factory in Kunovice in southeastern Czech Republic left three men dead, including the lone gunman, the police said.

“I’ve learnt there are three dead and one of the dead men is the gunman,” regional police spokeswoman Jana Bartikova told AFP, adding the man had committed suicide.

Regional emergency services spokesman Petr Olsan told public broadcaster Czech Television that a woman had been treated and taken to hospital with a light injury.

“I have no information about further injuries,” he added.

The rampage took place in a building of the Aircraft Industries company before noon (1100 GMT), local police spokesman Ales Mergental told AFP.

Aircraft Industries, majority-owned by Russia’s Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, produces the L-410 turboprop in Kunovice, about 260 kilometers (160 miles) southeast of Prague.
