Betti Cohomology of Kummer Surface

Let $A$ be a complex torus of (complex) dimension 2 and $X$ the associated Kummer variety $A/\sigma$, where $\sigma(x)=-x$. I would like to compute the cohomology of $X$ with $\mathbb{Z}$ coefficients. My initial instinct was to use Mayer-Vietoris, but the exact sequence involves the cohomology of the quadratic cone minus a point which is also proving to be difficult for me. My hope is that as in the case with $\mathbb{Q}$ coefficients $$ H^1(X,\mathbb{Z})=H^3(X,\mathbb{Z})=0,\qquad H^0(X,\mathbb{Z})=H^4(X,\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}\quad\text{ and }\quad H^2(X,\mathbb{Z})=\wedge^2H^1(A)\\ $$ Any tips as to how to compute $H^i(X,\mathbb{Z})$ or, equivalently, places to find tips in the literature would be very helpful. Thank you.
