A man drove into the historic square on Saturday afternoon and opened fire on people from his car. The suspect was shot by police and taken to the hospital.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NOTE: Sensitive readers are warned about the videos included at the end of the article.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shooting took place around 3 p.m. local time at Rynku G\u0142\u00f3wnym, the city\u2019s central square near St. Mary\u2019s Church. According to the police, the man began shooting at random people as he drove across the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emergency responders, ambulances, and an air ambulance arrived quickly on the scene. People in the area were urged to seek shelter, and several nearby buildings were cordoned off while the operation was underway. Police officers are among the injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One of the most serious shootings in Polish history<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polish police and emergency services later confirmed that five people had been killed and at least a dozen injured. The suspect was arrested after being shot by police and was taken to a hospital. Early reports on social media claimed that he was wearing military clothing and that a weapon was visible next to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister <strong>Donald Tusk<\/strong> has stated that he is being kept informed by the Minister of the Interior and that the police are investigating the background and circumstances surrounding the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident is one of the most serious shootings to have occurred in such a central and tourist-heavy square in Poland. The cordon and rescue efforts continued for several hours after the shots were fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING:<br><br>Several people were killed and many others wounded in a suspected terrorist attack at the main square in Krakow, Poland.<br><br>A man in a black car drove across the square in a black car, firing a rifle. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c6uUoqR3Ar\">pic.twitter.com\/c6uUoqR3Ar<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Visegr\u00e1d 24 (@visegrad24) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/visegrad24\/status\/2119084942789398954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"pl\" dir=\"ltr\">I found this about the shooting in Krakow <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/krak%C3%B3w?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">1TP5Krak\u00f3w<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/strzelanina?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#strzelanina<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FEbp3PjF5G\">pic.twitter.com\/FEbp3PjF5G<\/a><\/p>\u2014 MilekER (@MilekkER) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MilekkER\/status\/2119084404207129037?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"pl\" dir=\"ltr\">Come on, take a look at what this bomber from Krakow looks like. <br><br>He was ready for this mission. <br><br>Jesus Christ.
