His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, checked on the well-being of an Emirati couple who were injured in a mass shooting incident in Prague on Thursday.

During a phone call, Sheikh Hamdan assured his full support to the couple - Ahmed Ibrahim Al Najjar, Director General of Umm Al Quwain Municipality, and his wife Rowdah Al Mehrizi, Director of Marketing & Corporate Communication at Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority.

He also issued directives to all concerned authorities to ensure the best care for them and expressed his wishes for their swift recovery and safe return home.

Sheikh Hamdan said that all required measures and resources would be devoted to assisting UAE citizens facing difficult circumstances anywhere in the world and ensuring their well-being.

A student gunman killed 14 people at a Prague university building on Thursday.

Czech police said that the 24-year-old suspect also died, possibly after shooting himself after police cornered him on a balcony of the building.
