Aussie student describes terrifying moment gunfire erupted in Poland during suspected ‘terror attack’: ‘We bolted down the street’
An Australian student described fleeing after gunfire broke out in Krakow’s historic main square during a deadly shooting. Polish authorities are investigating it as a suspected terror attack, while the interior minister said the suspect may have been influenced by far-right ideas.
Luca Nava said he and his roommate first mistook the repeated shots for fireworks before running down the street. Six people were killed and 15 wounded; the 25-year-old suspect survived and is being treated in hospital. Two police officers who confronted him remained in critical condition, and investigators said he appeared to have fired at random people.
