Lenka Hlávková FF Obituary, Death Cause
Prague, a city known for its rich history and cultural heritage, was marred by an unthinkable tragedy as it became the backdrop for the deadliest shooting in the Czech Republic’s history. Fourteen lives were abruptly cut short on Thursday, leaving the community grappling with shock, grief, and an overwhelming sense of loss.
Among the victims were two individuals who had dedicated themselves to education and the pursuit of knowledge: Lenka Hlávková, the Director of Charles University’s Institute of Musicology, and Lucie Špindlerová, a promising student with dreams of mastering the Czech language in deaf communication.
The 24-year-old assailant, identified as David Kozak by local media, unleashed a wave of violence that began with the tragic killing of his own father before he proceeded to randomly shoot people from the balcony of Charles University. The motive behind this horrifying act remains a subject of investigation, leaving a community desperate for answers.

Colleagues and students alike were quick to express their grief, emphasizing the profound impact she had on their lives.
In an official statement, the Institute of Musicology conveyed its “deep regret” at the loss of Lenka Hlávková, acknowledging the void left by her absence. The university, an intellectual sanctuary, found itself shaken to its core as the news of the attack reverberated through its hallowed halls.
