The shooting in Magdalenka took place on the night of 5-6 March 2003 and was part of a police operation aimed at apprehending criminals from the so-called "Mutants" gang. The aim of the operation was to apprehend Robert Cieślak and Igor Pikus, who were responsible for numerous murders and criminal activities. The operation had a tragic course, as two policemen died in the explosions and gunfire, and seventeen others were injured.

The "Mutants" gang, associated with brutal crimes, had on its account, among others, the murder of a policeman and other mafia executions. During the operation, the criminals used various explosives, which led to an explosion, killing one of the anti-terrorists. After the explosion, there was an exchange of fire, which ended in a fire in the building. Cieślak and Pikus died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, and not from gunshot wounds, as was initially thought.

After the operation, some police officers left the service due to traumatic experiences. In response to the event, the police introduced changes to training and equipment for counter-terrorists and established the Counter-Terrorist Operations Office to better prepare officers for similar situations in the future.
