Five people were killed, and more than 10 were injured in a shooting on the main market square in the southern city of Krakow on Saturday, police said.

Police started to receive reports at around 3pm that someone in a car had been shooting people who entered the square at random, a police spokesperson said.
"According to information from police officers, the man was wearing military-style attire," a police spokesperson told reporters. "During the arrest, officers used their weapons, but the man returned fire; as a result, two police officers are among the injured."
