At least five people were killed and dozens more injured in a shooting that took place on Saturday afternoon at Kraków’s main square, Rynek Główny, in Poland. Among the wounded were police officers, and the gunman was shot by police and taken to a hospital. The attacker’s identity and motive remain unknown. The incident occurred at about 15:00 local time. A man drove a vehicle to the square and began firing indiscriminately at pedestrians. Police responded quickly, engaging the suspect and shooting him. He was transported to a hospital for treatment. Police and emergency services also arrived at the scene, and authorities urged residents and tourists to stay away from the area. The shooting also prompted police activity on the nearby Dietla street. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he was in constant contact with the interior minister, who was regularly briefing him on the situation in Kraków. “The interior minister keeps me informed about the situation in Kraków after the tragic shooting. Police are investigating the background and all circumstances of the attack,” Tusk said. Investigations are ongoing, and further details about the circumstances of the attack and the condition of the injured are expected to emerge over the coming days.
