A closer analysis of the footage of the exchange of fire between the heavily armed attacker and two police officers reveals that the shot that first hit and brought down the attacker was fired by police officer Artur Morański. The gunman with the long gun first hit police officer Jakub Kulik, and when Kulik fell to the ground after being hit three times, the attacker turned his attention to police officer Artur Morański. During the exchange of fire, both hit each other almost simultaneously, after which both fell to the ground. The previously wounded police officer Jakub Kulik pulled himself together and, despite his injuries, got up, approached the attacker and fired seven shots, completely neutralizing the terrorist. He was filmed as he fired these finishing shots, and the footage spread around the world in a flash.
Knowing exactly how events unfolded, it becomes clear how crucial a role police officer Artur Morański played. Without his shot, both officers would probably have died, along with more civilians left at the mercy of a deranged murderer. Despite their young age and without support or ballistic protection, two young police officers stopped a fully armed terrorist with a long gun. Glory to the heroes!!!
Brave acts such as these are examples of the highest morality. This is excellent Buddhist practice, an inspiration to all. Moral courage relies on physical courage. ABN
