Gunman kills six, wounds 16 in Krakow's Main Square shooting; suspect's family found dead

A gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Square, Poland, killing six people and wounding 16 others. The attack occurred on a Saturday afternoon in this major tourist destination.

Authorities have described the suspect as a 25-year-old Polish man who held ultranationalistic and far-right views. The suspect used an automatic weapon during the attack.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said drone footage appears to show dead bodies inside the suspect's home, believed to be his family members, including two women and one man.

Four women and two men were killed in the shooting. Among the wounded were two police officers, one seriously injured. Thirteen of the injured were hospitalized with serious injuries, including one foreign citizen.

The perpetrator was shot and wounded during a gunfight with police a short distance from the initial shooting. He was taken to the hospital for surgery. Police said he was wearing military-style fatigues at the time of the attack.

Poland’s defense minister described the shooting as an 'act of terror' on the people of Krakow, which receives 15 million visitors annually, most passing through the Main Square.
