WARSAW, Poland – Poland’s Interior Ministry says a regional police chief and one of his deputies have been fired after they attended a party during which a senior anti-terrorist investigator fell from a window and died.
The accident occurred early Thursday at a Baltic coast resort during an after-hours party following a meeting of police chiefs from the western town of Gorzow Wielkopolski. The 47-year-old head of the anti-terrorist division fell from a 2nd floor window and sustained fatal head injuries
