Poland's Interior Minister Marcin Kirwinski has strongly condemned a "baseless" legal complaint filed against police officer Jakub Kulik, who helped stop a mass shooting in Krakow's main market square.
Kulik and fellow officer Arthur Muransky were hailed as national heroes after confronting a gunman who killed six people and wounded 15. Despite the injury, Kulik fired more shots to neutralize the threat.
The complaint questioning the use of Colix's power was filed by a man living in London.
His identity has not been officially confirmed, however, Polish media reports that the details of the filing match a man wanted by police for alleged fraud, drunk driving and criminal threats.
Minister Kirwinski defended the courage of the officers, while the prosecutors confirmed that there was no basis for a criminal offense.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk and regional leaders also strongly supported the officers, who had previously received high honors from the state and financial support while they recovered.
