Police statement after the shooting in Krakow. "23 seconds after reporting"

Approximately 3 p.m. a speeding car drove onto the Main Market Square in Krakow. Inside was a masked 24-year-old Pole in tactical clothing who was shooting at people with a firearm. On the occasion of the tragedy, the Internet was flooded with an avalanche of disinformation, fake photos and forged recordings. There were also reports that the services did not start operating immediately. This is not true. Moreover, two policemen - heroes who wanted to stop the perpetrator at all costs - are injured. One hard.

We deny the information about the late reaction of the Police. The officers began the intervention IMMEDIATELY. The first patrol began operations just 23 seconds after the report, the Małopolska police reported.
