At least 17 people were shot, five of them fatally, as an attacker opened fire from inside a moving vehicle in the Polish City of Krakow.
NEXTA noted the shots were fired “around 3:00 p.m.” local time from a vehicle “traveling from Sławkowska Street toward Krakow’s Main Market Square.”
NEXTA reported five confirmed deaths, as did the BBC.
The Malopolska Police posted to X: “Five people were killed and a dozen or so injured in the incident in the Main Market Square. The perpetrator was shot by police officers and is currently being taken to hospital. Emergency services are still working at the scene.”
Visegrad 24 pointed out that police located and shot the attacker, but information on his motive, condition, or the weapon used in the attack is unknown.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk indicated that he is “being kept informed by the Minister of the Interior about the situation in Kraków following the tragic shooting.”
