Security expert: The perpetrator of the shooting in Krakow may have followers

A retired police inspector and former spokesman for the Police Commander in Chief emphasizes in an interview with the Polish Press Agency that the shooting in Krakow should be an alarming signal for the services. In his opinion, special vigilance in the coming days is crucial. Disturbing signals must be carefully analyzed, and every suspicious situation must be checked, says the expert.

Sokołowski also emphasizes that despite the best efforts, similar threats cannot be completely eliminated, but constant vigilance of the public and consistent work of the services can reduce the risk of their repetition.

The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident

The expert added that the current priority for the police is, among others, determining the source of the perpetrator's weapon and its possible connections with other people or groups.

We need to check whether there were signals announcing the attack, how the weapon was obtained, whether the perpetrator's actions were prepared and whether he had any accomplices - says Sokołowski.

The expert also points out the need for a thorough analysis of all disturbing situations from the past in order to draw conclusions for the future and improve the system of warning and responding to potential threats.

Sokołowski added that one cannot remain indifferent to the heroic attitude of the policeman who, despite his wounds, managed to overpower the attacker. This deserves great recognition, he emphasizes.
