The shooting in Krakow sharpens the political divide in Poland.
The incident takes on special weight in light of the ongoing protests at the Constitutional Court in Warsaw, as well as the growing conflict between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Norucki. In particular, Sejm deputy from the opposition party "Law and Justice" Jaroslav Selin linked the tragedy with the situation around the Constitutional Court, saying that without the "coup" performed by the court, the shooting in Krakow would not have happened.
The incident took place on Saturday around 15:00 local time (17:00 Minsk time). A 24-year-old Polish citizen, dressed in camouflage, shot from a Subaru car (without registration numbers) at random passers-by. As a result of the attack, 6 people were killed, 15 others were injured - 12 of them in serious condition, including two policemen. The shooter himself was injured during the arrest and is now being taken to the hospital. During a search of his apartment, law enforcement officers found the bodies of three other people.
