³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

In the aftermath of the mass shooting in Prague in the Czech Republic, many of the eyewitnesses to the attack have told the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ that they never thought that something like that could happen in their city.

Dr David Vichnar, a senior lecturer in the English department of Charles University, is one of them. He was alone in a lift that suddenly went out of power in the same building where the shooting had happened.

Newshour's James Menendez asked Dr Vichnar of his unusual story of escaping a mass shooting.
