A far-right extremist killed six individuals in a mass shooting at Kraków's Main Market Square, Poland's historic and popular tourist destination. The attack occurred around 3 p.m. on Saturday, as the suspect, a 24-year-old Polish national with radical views, opened fire on pedestrians in the city center. Six people were killed, including one foreign national, and sixteen others were wounded, with two police officers among the injured.
The gunman was apprehended following a shootout with police, who arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the emergency call. Authorities found weapons and ammunition in the suspect's car, and are investigating if he acted alone or received assistance. Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński confirmed the attacker's ultranationalist and far-right views.
