Scottish man confirmed as victim of Krakow shooting

The attack began shortly before 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT) in Krakow’s Main Market Square, a popular tourist spot.

Police said the gunman drove into the square before beginning to fire at random people from his car.

Armed officers raced to the scene and engaged in a gunfight with the man, who was shot within three minutes of the attack beginning.

In addition to the six people killed in central Krakow, police later found the bodies of the gunman’s parents and sister at his address on Saturday.

Earlier this week two friends from Aberdeen described how they ran for their lives as the shooting started.

Ciaran McMenemy, 26, and Charlie Hutchison, 27, said they had just sat down for a drink when the gunfire began. They quickly fled and took shelter.
