Five people have been killed and others wounded in a shooting near the main market square of Krakow in southern Poland, police said.

“As a result of the incident, five people were killed and around a dozen others were wounded,” a Krakow police spokesperson told the AFP news agency on Saturday.

He added that the gunman was “neutralised” by police officers and transported to hospital.

A man was firing toward random people from a car driving through the city’s Main Square, Krakow police told the Associated Press, confirming the death toll. Police officers are among the wounded.

Krakow’s municipal government said earlier on X that deaths and injuries were reported after shots were fired in a square in Poland’s second-largest city, without adding details.

A “tragic shooting” took place on Saturday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a post on X.

“I am being kept informed by the Minister of the Interior about the situation in Krakow,” he wrote, adding that “the police are investigating the background and all the circumstances of the attack”.

Krakow is about 250 kilometres (155 miles) south of the capital, Warsaw.
