Guard fired a shot. Wounded man appeared in hospital. Police check if there's a connection

They wanted to steal cables. Security guards of the "Pokój" (Peace) coal mine in Ruda Śląska fired what was supposed to a warning shot. The thieves run away but soon afterwards, a man was brought to a hospital with a gunshot wound to his stomach. The 27-year-old is in serious condition. Police are now checking whether these two cases were related, and whether the man could have been shot by the gun of the guards.
