Two friends from Aberdeen went on a last minute get away in Krakow, when the shooting which killed six people began. Ciaran McMenemy, 26, and Charlie Hutchison, 27, said they quickly fled and took shelter. Now back in Scotland, they told BBC Scotland News they feared they may never see their loved ones again. The 24-year-old suspected gunman - who later died in hospital - had opened fire in central Krakow, the second largest city in Poland, on Saturday.
