Professor Michal Pędziwiatr, a surgeon from Krakow, has told the BBC about how he and a colleague gave first aid to victims after a mass shooting in the Polish city. On Saturday a gunman began firing at random, killing six people and injuring 15.
Doctors were nearby
Both doctors were eating close to the city's Main Market Square on Saturday when the shooting began. According to Pędziwiatr, they rushed into the area and started their rescue effort before the emergency services arrived.
Help for the attacker and for officers
The pair raced to treat the attacker as well as two police officers who were shot while subduing the perpetrator. Their help therefore covered several of those wounded on the street after the attack.
In the interview published by the BBC, the surgeon describes his experience of the situation. More detail on how the two doctors helped the Krakow shooting victims is available in the BBC's report.
