  "account": "Five individuals have been tragically lost and ten others have sustained injuries following a drive-by shooting that occurred in the heart of Kraków, Poland's Lesser Poland region, according to police reports posted on X on Saturday. Among the wounded were two police officers. The suspected gunman has been apprehended by law enforcement.\n\nThe incident unfolded in the city's bustling Main Square, also known as the Main Market Square, which serves as the regional capital of Lesser Poland. Polsat News, citing emergency services, reported that the assailant targeted passers-by from a moving vehicle. Authorities promptly urged the local population to evacuate the immediate area for safety.\n\nThe perpetrator, who was reportedly injured during the encounter with police, was subsequently detained. The Lesser Poland police shared on X that it was during the pursuit that the suspect was subdued by officers and is currently being transported to a hospital. Initial reports do not indicate any involvement of accomplices in the attack.\n\nThe state has pledged to take action against the perpetrator, emphasizing that justice will be served. Public prosecutor's office and police forces were present at the scene to collect evidence and ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the shooting. Minister of Justice Waldemar Kwaśniewski cautioned the public to maintain composure, vowing to impose a substantial penalty on the individual responsible for the attack.\n\nVideos circulating on social media depicted a rescue helicopter descending onto the square, adding to the scenes of chaos and distress that followed the violent incident.",
