Krakow's gunman had 500 rounds of ammunition

Six dead and several injured - that is the result of the gun attack last Saturday in Krakow. Now the public prosecutor's office announced: The crime could have ended even worse: "Four firearms and around 500 rounds of ammunition were discovered on the assassin and in his car," a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office told journalists in Warsaw.

However, the motive for the crime remains unclear. "We do not have any information that would allow us to clearly determine or assess the motive; there are also no sufficiently reliable indications to be able to assess this responsibly," said the spokesman when asked.

Police officers regain consciousness

The spokesman was able to deliver good news about the condition of the injured. The two seriously injured police officers were conscious again, the PAP news agency quoted him as saying. The two are now considered heroes by the Polish public. They had risked their lives by standing in the way of the attacker. According to media reports, one of the two suffered one gunshot wound and the other three.

Attacker fired many shots

As the public prosecutor's office further announced, the 24-year-old gunman had randomly fired a large number of shots at random passers-by in Krakow's main market square. Numerous cartridge cases were found. So far, “at least several dozen shots” have been confirmed; the exact number will only be known after further evaluations. The four firearms found on the perpetrator and in his car were two AR-15 rifles and two pistols.
