The European Commission has partially lowered European flags in front of its headquarters in Brussels, in sign of solidarity with Poland following the tragic attack that took place Saturday in central Krakova.
In solidarity with the Polish people, European flags in front of our headquarters in Brussels have been lowered to half a point after the tragic events in Krakow. Europe joins Poland in pain and solidarity, says the European Commission’s response.
The attack occurred on Saturday, November 7, shortly after 1500, in the Krakow Square area.
According to Poland’s government, a 25-year-old armed man drove into the old town area and opened fire on people there.
Nine people lost their lives, while another 16 were injured, including the assailant.
Poland’s president, Carol Newrock, has announced November 8th and 9th national mourning day in honour of the victims. /Telegraphy/
