Slovakian Man Arrested for Threatening Copycat Prague Massacre

The arrest follows a series of security incidents in the wake of the Prague university shooting, which claimed 14 lives.

Slovakian police have arrested a 64-year-old man who threatened to carry out a massacre similar to the recent mass shooting in Prague.
The man, from Zilina, called emergency services stating his intention to replicate the Prague attack, leading to his arrest and potential prosecution for spreading general alarm.
Since the Prague shooting, which resulted in 14 deaths, there have been several security incidents and arrests in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Czech Republic observed a national day of mourning on December 23, with a minute of silence held across the country.
The shooter in the Prague attack, a student at Charles University, is also suspected of killing his father and two others prior to the university massacre.
