Attacks are not common in the Czech Republic
Attacks on schools in the Czech Republic are not common. For example, in 2014, a 26-year-old woman stabbed a student in a high school building in Žďár nad Sázavou and injured three other people. In April 2015, the public prosecutor stopped the prosecution of women for the attack in Žďár due to insanity. The woman was placed in a detention center and, according to experts, suffers from schizophrenia.
