Injured Austrian transferred home after Krakow shooting

An Austrian man injured in Saturday’s shooting in Krakow has been discharged from hospital and transferred to Austria by medical transport, ORF reported on Tuesday.

The transfer was organised with the help of Austrian diplomatic authorities, Krzysztof Klecza, governor of the Lesser Poland region, told the Polish news agency PAP. The man is in stable condition.

His wife was killed in the attack. The couple, from the Gänserndorf district of Lower Austria, were visiting Krakow as tourists when they came under fire at the city’s central market square. The 51-year-old woman was fatally shot, and an autopsy is planned.

Thirteen other people injured in the shooting remain in six Krakow hospitals, all in stable condition, Klecza said. A woman was discharged on Monday. The two police officers who stopped the attacker are also improving. The attacker died early Monday from injuries sustained in a shootout with police.
