A fifth victim wounded during an attack at a Christmas market in the French city of Strasbourg has died, authorities and relatives said.

The prosecutor’s office confirmed on Sunday (local time) that a Polish national had died after being injured by Cherif Chekatt in Tuesday’s rampage.

“My brother Barto Pedro Orent-Niedzielski has just passed away. He thanks you for the love and strength you have given him,” the brother of the 36-year-old victim from the Polish city of Katowice wrote on Facebook. Chekatt, 29, attacked Christmas market shoppers armed with a gun and a knife, before being killed by police two days later.

Orent-Niedzielski and his Italian friend Antonio Megalizzi had tried to stop Chekatt from entering a bar during Tuesday’s assault, a close friend told AFP.

Megalizzi, 28, died from his injuries on Friday.

Not covered in the U.S. media?

They want us all to be unarmed victims.

This young man could have done much if he had been armed with even a small pistol.

Imagine if just a few more folks had followed his example. He might still be alive and the attack stopped.

It sucks when you pay taxes and discover that taxpayers are both the chief. target and the first line of defense.
