5 Killed, Over A Dozen Injured In Mass Shooting At Poland's Krakow | Video

Five people were killed and over a dozen injured in a mass shooting that occurred in Krakow's Main Market Square, Poland on Saturday afternoon. An unidentified gunman opened fire from a car traveling from Sławkowska Street towards the bustling tourist destination, which is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The attack was random, with the shooter aiming at people indiscriminately as they walked on the square. Police officers were among the wounded in this tragic incident.

The perpetrator was shot and wounded during a confrontation with law enforcement, and later taken to the hospital. Images from the scene showed police officers and ambulances scattered across the area, which is a central location in Krakow. Initially, police reported that the shooter had been detained, but a subsequent update stated he was shot by the police and taken to the hospital, alongside the wounded victim.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that police are investigating the attack, and President Karol Nawrocki expressed his sympathies to the victims, the wounded, and their families. The US Ambassador to Poland, Tom Rose, condemned the "savage and murderous attack" and pledged America's support for Poland during this dark hour. Krakow, the second-largest city in Poland, is located roughly 250 kilometers away from the country's capital, Warsaw.
