Shots fired from moving vehicle at Kraków market square
At least five people were killed and at least ten more injured in a shooting in the historic old town of Kraków on Saturday afternoon. According to the Kleine Zeitung, shots were reportedly fired from a moving vehicle at the central market square of the southern Polish city with around 800,000 inhabitants. Local media initially cited a fire service spokesperson. The exact circumstances remain unclear for the time being.
The alleged perpetrator is said to have fired indiscriminately at people with a long-barrelled weapon. After an attempted escape, he was shot by a police officer, arrested and subsequently taken to hospital, the Polish police announced on X. Videos circulating on Facebook show the suspect lying on the ground, dressed in a military-like uniform and helmet, being overpowered by police.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk also commented on X. Investigations were in full swing, and the interior minister was keeping him constantly informed, Tusk wrote.
