Police are investigating a shooting that left a woman dead and a man seriously injured on Herbenova Street in Prague 10.

Investigators say the incident appears to have been a murder followed by an attempted suicide.

Emergency services were called to the scene after reports of gunfire. Several police units were sent to the area while officers secured the location and began investigating the circumstances of the incident.

“When officers arrived, they found one person dead with a gunshot wound and another injured person nearby. We are currently looking for the perpetrator,” Prague police said in a statement published on social media platform X.

According to preliminary findings, detectives believe the incident involved a former couple. The woman, born in 1975, was killed, while the man, born in 1971, is believed to have attempted to take his own life after the attack.

Police later confirmed that there was no longer any danger to the public.

Paramedics also responded to Herbenova Street, sending multiple emergency crews, including doctors and an emergency supervisor.

“Two patients with serious injuries were under our care. Both required resuscitation, which was continued by our teams after arrival. One patient’s vital functions were restored and the person was transported to a trauma centre in critical condition,” the Prague Emergency Medical Service said.

Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing.
