  "account": "At least five individuals lost their lives and around a dozen others sustained injuries in a shooting incident near Krakow's main market square in southern Poland on Saturday. The assailant was subsequently apprehended by police. Police reports indicate that the gunman indiscriminately shot at passersby while driving past the bustling Main Square. Among those wounded were members of the police force. According to Krakow police, around 3 pm [1400 GMT], a man who had driven into the market square opened fire on unsuspecting people inside his vehicle, as reported on X. The perpetrator was subsequently shot by police and is currently being transported to a hospital. Police initially advised residents in the immediate vicinity to evacuate to a safe location. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed his sorrow on X, stating that police are conducting an investigation into the attack, describing it as \"tragic.\" President Karol Nawrocki also conveyed his condolences to the victims and their families via X, adding that his thoughts were with them. Krakow, situated approximately 250 kilometers (155 miles) from Poland's capital, Warsaw, is the nation's second-largest city with a population of 800,000. This picturesque city, renowned for its tourist attractions, boasts the Main Square, Wawel Castle, and the cathedral atop Wawel Hill.
