Kraków market shooting suspect who killed six dies in hospital
A 24-year-old man who opened fire in a popular Kraków market square has died of his wounds, Polish police said. Authorities have opened a terrorism investigation.
The suspect in a shooting in a popular market square in Kraków has died in hospital, Polish police announced early on Monday. Six people were killed in the attack over the weekend.
The suspect, a 24-year-old man named locally as Michal O, was wounded in a shootout with police and was in critical condition before he died. Authorities said he was probably inspired by far-right ideologies, although investigators have not yet confirmed a motive or his ideological views.
A terrorism investigation has been opened. One of the victims is reportedly a British national. Secondary outlets also report that the suspect killed three members of his own family, but this has not been confirmed by investigators.
Reports differ on the number of victims, with some citing nine dead rather than six. The final toll and the full circumstances of the attack are likely to become clearer as the investigation continues.
