The journalist tried to divert the shooter’s attention to himself

During the shooting in Prague, a local journalist tried to distract the shooter.

“Hey, you bastard! Shoot me!” the journalist shouted at David Kozak.

A video is being circulated on social networks that shows the moment of the shooting at Charles University in Prague.

In the published footage, journalist Jiri Forman, who was one of the first to arrive at the scene, is trying to attract the attention of the shooter.

At this time, Kozak opened fire from the roof of the university and fired towards Jan Palach Square.

Foreman shouts to the shooter: “Hey, you bastard! Shoot me! Hey, I’m here!” At some point, the shooter actually paid attention to Foreman and opened fire in his direction.

In the video, a Czech policeman can be heard approaching the journalist and asking: “What are you doing?” – to which he receives the answer: “What the fuck should I do? After all, people are everywhere.”
