A gunman opened fire in Krakow, Poland, on Saturday, killing at least five people and injuring roughly fifteen others, according to Le Figaro. The suspected attacker was detained at the scene, the outlet reported.
Le Figaro describes the shooter as having fired at passersby at random before being stopped. Other French outlets carried similar accounts: Le Monde, 20 Minutes and franceinfo all reported a death toll of at least five, while RTL likewise described a man opening fire indiscriminately on people in the street before being taken into custody. A police spokesperson cited by franceinfo confirmed the five deaths and referred to several people wounded.
The reports agree on the broad outline — a lone gunman, a public street, multiple fatalities and a suspect in custody — but the material available so far gives no detail on the weapon used, the exact location within the city, or a possible motive. The identities of the victims and the suspect have not been made public in the reporting summarized here.
Polish authorities have not yet issued a fuller statement in the accounts available. What to watch next: official confirmation of the casualty figures and any information from investigators on the circumstances and motive behind the attack.
This article draws on reporting by Le Figaro and other French outlets and will be updated as verified details emerge.
