At least six people have been killed and 15 more wounded when a gunman opened fire from his car in the southern Polish city of Kraków, officials said on Saturday, adding that three more people were found dead at his home.
Police started getting reports of a shooting at around 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET), when the suspect drove into the city’s main market square and started firing randomly, killing four women and two men, Kraków police said.
The alleged attacker was wearing military-style clothing and used military weapons, Police Deputy Inspector Katarzyna Cisło told Polish news outlet TVN24.
He was shot and injured by police and has been transported to the hospital, police said.
Do you think that’s particularly old, or particularly young?
There was a documentary on arte called “24h Europe”. It runs indeed for 24 hours, because it’s mostly in real time. See if you can find a stream or a copy, it’s absolutely riveting. They interviewed dozens of people under 30 all over Europe. Plenty of them held far-right views.
I specifically remember an interview with a 15-year-old Polish girl who had joined a paramilitary training camp. She rambled on and on about the “Muslim wave”, and how she feels obliged to defend the Polish borders etc. :-/
