CCTV footage shows police shootout after Kraków attack

"We heard shots. We saw people running, about 250 people running that way," a witness tells Guardian News' report on the Kraków attack. He describes a black car passing near the castle, followed by police cars, before more shots rang out.

The report begins with pedestrians fleeing near the main market square. It then shows a phone recording of a CCTV monitor: cars collide at an intersection before police exchange gunfire with the suspected attacker. The video carries a warning about distressing footage.

According to the report, the market-square attack killed six people and injured 17. Polish prosecutors have opened a terrorism investigation, and authorities say the attack was probably inspired by far-right ideologies. The suspect was shot by police and is being treated in hospital.

The Short reached about 178,000 views within its first 14 hours, already far beyond Guardian News' usual full-day audience for this format.

After the confrontation, the footage shows people providing medical aid on the pavement. The report closes with an official statement from Lesser Poland governor Krzysztof Jan Klęczar, giving an update on victims admitted to hospital.
