At least five people were killed and several injured in a mass shooting in Krakow, Poland. Police arrested the suspect, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk is monitoring the situation.
A mass shooting in the historic center of Krakow, Poland's second-largest city, left at least five people dead and several others injured. According to local reports, a suspect opened fire from a moving vehicle near the main market square before fleeing the scene.
Polish state television TVP reported that local police successfully apprehended the suspect not far from the incident location. Footage published online captured a gunman firing an automatic weapon from the window of a black Subaru, drawing large police forces to the major tourist hub.
Emergency services deployed heavily to the area, landing a helicopter in the central square to evacuate the wounded to nearby hospitals. Social media videos later showed an armed individual lying on the pavement near a vehicle matching the shooter's car.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that he is receiving ongoing updates regarding the security situation from the Ministry of the Interior and is closely monitoring the unfolding events.
