KRAKOW - A gunman opened fire in Krakow, Poland, killing at least five people, according to Polish police, The New York Times reported in an article written by Carlos Barragán. The headline of the report attributes the death toll to police in Poland, and the article's summary is the only portion of the text available for this account.

According to the Times summary, the authorities said the gunman began shooting from a car near a market square. The authorities also said the gunman was shot and taken to a hospital. The summary gives no other timing for the events and does not say who shot him.

The summary refers to "the authorities" as the source of its account, while the headline names Polish police. The summary does not state whether the two references describe the same officials.

The Times summary also does not give the identity of the gunman, the names of those killed, the number of people wounded, or any motive for the attack. It likewise does not describe the condition of the gunman at the hospital.

The facts the summary does report are therefore limited to three points: a death toll of at least five, a shooting that began from a car near a market square, and the transfer of the gunman to a hospital after he was shot. Any further detail in the full article is not reflected in this account.

Because the summary is brief, the account of the events rests entirely on what the authorities told the Times, as the summary presents it, and on the death toll stated in the headline.
