Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosińak-Kamisz was quick to deny the "shooter in Krakow"; He claims that the shooter is not related to the Polish army: "I strongly refute the information that appears in the public sphere according to which the perpetrator of today's attack in Krakow was a soldier of the Polish army. This man was not and is not a soldier of the Polish army and he never had anything to do with the army," he said.
