Gunman dies in hospital after killing six and injuring 15 in Krakow shooting

A gunman killed six people and injured 15 others in a mass shooting at Krakow's central square on Saturday. The assailant, identified as Michal O, a 24-year-old from Ukraine, died in the hospital on Monday after being shot by police. Polish prosecutors are treating the incident as a terrorist offense. The government has vowed to review gun permit regulations.

The shooter may have been inspired by far-right ideology, though this claim was later disputed by the nationalist opposition. The dead included four women and two men; three Polish nationals and one each from the United Kingdom and Austria. The shooter's family members were also found dead in their home. A police officer who apprehended the gunman was seriously injured and remains hospitalized. All involved had gun permits, and several firearms were found in their possession.
