Poland shooting suspect, 24, wore military-style clothing and carried possible AR-15 rifle: Report

On Saturday afternoon, November 7, a gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Market Square, Poland, killing six people and injuring 15 others. The attacker, a 24-year-old Polish national from the Świętokrzyskie region, was shot during a shootout with police and taken to the hospital. The shooting occurred in the busy square, a popular tourist destination in the center of Krakow, shortly after 3 pm local time.

The suspect had driven a black Subaru into the area and fired at people at random, according to the Associated Press (AP). The victims included four women and two men, and two police officers were injured, with one in very serious condition. The attacker was wearing military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest, and was armed with an AR-15 rifle, though it was unclear if the weapon used in the shooting or other firearms found in his vehicle were legally owned.

Police spokesperson Katarzyna Cisło confirmed the gunman acted alone and had not announced a motive for the attack.
