A gunman opened fire in Krakow, Poland, killing six people and injuring 16 before being engaged in a shootout with police, resulting in the wounding of two officers. Polish media published video footage showing the attacker exchanging gunfire with a police officer, who eventually fell to the ground after being wounded. The officer then fired several more shots before losing balance and collapsing.
Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz revealed that Jakub Kulik, one of the injured officers, is seriously wounded and in the hospital, with one of his lungs non-functioning, and requires life-saving AB Rh-positive blood. The suspect, identified as Michał O., a 24-year-old resident of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, was reportedly dressed in a military uniform and carrying a military-style long-barreled weapon, most likely an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle.
He was driving a car owned by his father, who legally owned 11 firearms, while the gunman owned two. Both father and son had no prior criminal records.
