Referring to the victims of Saturday's shooting, Krzysztof Klęczar pointed out that there were speculations on the Internet about the death of another person.

He indicated that it concerned activities with consular services. I can confirm that the 51-year-old woman, who is the sixth victim of the attack, is an Austrian citizen, he said.
He recalled that the other fatalities of the attack were a 61-year-old Polish citizen, a 47-year-old Polish citizen, a 53-year-old Polish citizen, a 32-year-old British citizen and an approximately 50-year-old man, a Polish citizen.
