💣 Terrorism

Krakow's Market Square has been cleared and closed as police continue operations following a deadly shooting that left the city in shock. Prosecutors are now investigating the attack as an act of terrorism. The square, usually a hub for tourists and residents, sat empty in a manner local witnesses compared to the pandemic lockdowns, though this time the quiet was maintained by cordons rather than a virus. Investigators found the bodies of the attacker's parents and sister in their apartment, all dead from bullet wounds, while a national day of mourning has been declared to mark the loss of life in the square. A classmate of the perpetrator described him as having shared "chilling words" in the past, though neighbors had previously known him only as a quiet and withdrawn man. Public attention has turned to the recovery of a police officer who subdued the gunman despite being seriously wounded. He has reportedly been awakened from a coma as a national appeal for blood donations continues; the image of his intervention is being described by local media as a defining moment of the crisis.
