Graffiti Referencing Kraków Attack Found Outside Gdańsk University; Police Investigate

Gdańsk police are investigating an incident on Chopina Street, where someone painted a message in red paint on the sidewalk in front of a university referencing the attack in Kraków. A security guard notified authorities. Police examined the scene, and the graffiti has already been removed.

Police spokesman Senior Staff Aspirant Mariusz Chrzanowski provided information on the actions taken. Officers from the criminal division are investigating the circumstances of the incident, reviewing surveillance footage and questioning witnesses. The area around WSB Merito University has been placed under temporary patrol supervision.

The message, “Kraków teraz WSB” (“Kraków now WSB”), refers to the tragic events of Nov. 7 at the Main Square (Rynek Główny) in Kraków. A 24-year-old attacker drove a car into the area of the square and opened fire on random people. Six people were killed and 15 were wounded, including two police officers. The perpetrator died in a hospital on Monday. Earlier that day, the bodies of his father, mother and sister, with gunshot wounds, were found in his apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.

As of Saturday, 10 wounded people remain in five Kraków hospitals, and their condition is stable, a spokesman for the governor of Lesser Poland Voivodeship said. The investigation into the attack is being led by the Lesser Poland branch of the National Prosecutor’s Office. (PAP)
