The violent incident unfolded around 3 p.m. local time in the historic Main Market Square. A male driver drove his vehicle into the bustling square and began firing at random bystanders. Polish police confirmed the attacker targeted indiscriminately from inside the vehicle. Officers engaged the driver directly at the scene, resulting in the suspect's neutralization by police gunfire. The perpetrator, who was subsequently transported to the hospital, is currently under medical care. Emergency services responded rapidly to the scene, with medical teams treating victims directly on the cobblestones before transporting them to regional facilities. Among those injured were civilian bystanders and law enforcement personnel. The aftermath of the attack has prompted a strict cordon around the square, as forensic teams collect ballistics data and examine the suspect's vehicle. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has expressed his condolences, deeming the incident \"tragic\" and updating himself on the crisis resolution through the interior ministry. Authorities have yet to disclose the suspect's identity or establish a confirmed motive for the attack.",
