An armed attacker opened fire on random people in Kraków's Main Market Square on Saturday, killing at least five people and wounding more than twelve. The shots were fired from a moving car, and the victims were chosen at random. Among the injured are police officers, and reports indicate that one of the victims is an officer of the anti-terrorist unit.
A helicopter emergency medical service was dispatched to the scene. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the police are conducting an investigation. The number of fatalities has not yet been confirmed, and figures reported by different media outlets vary.
Reports indicate that more than one person may have been behind the attack. The identity of the perpetrator has not yet been publicly confirmed, and the motive remains unclear. The Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe and a popular place for walks for both residents and tourists, was closed to traffic and to members of the public on Saturday.
The case is developing. Further information regarding the number of victims, the course of events, and any possible charges will be released by the relevant services once confirmed.
