Joka Freydick

Joka Elias Freydick (born Maximilian Elias Wagner; 9 January 1963 - 22 May 1993), was a Polish-German mass murderer and musician. He entered a theater in Gdynia, Poland and fired several shots at random people. Many hid under the chairs to avoid getting hit with bullets. An armed bodyguard was standing a few feet away from the attack and heard the shots. He quickly ran to take cover behind a wall, and started shooting at Freydick. Freydick returned fire and hit the bodyguard twice in the shoulder and once in the head. He died immediately. After successfully vacating the theater room, Freydick ran out where he was instantly met with firing shots from police officers. He ran back in the room, where a policeman stood and fired at Freydick numerous times. Freydick fatally shot the officer in the neck and began his way out once again. At this time, he was encircled by law enforcement and news agencies who were waiting for the right moment to take the ending shot. Freydick discharged another weapon which hit a officer in the chest. Moments later, a riot ensued outside the theater. Freydick had then committed suicide with a pistol.
