Krakow Main Square shooting suspect dies in hospital, police say
The suspect had undergone several operations after being wounded by Polish Police. Since Saturday afternoon, doctors have described his condition as critical; he died on Monday in hospital.
A 24-year-old Polish man, who lived in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and held a firearms license, is believed to have opened fire on Krakow's Main Square, killing six people and injuring 15, including two police officers. Among the victims were four Polish citizens, a British national, and an Austrian citizen. The attacker was shot and detained before being taken to the hospital, where his condition was reported as critical.
Police confirmed his death early one morning, alongside the deaths of three family members found in his apartment: his parents and sister. All six victims sustained gunshot wounds, and authorities are conducting autopsies to determine the cause and nature of their deaths. The incident, described as the deadliest in Poland since the end of communism in 1989, is believed to be an act of terrorism by a man with fascistic ideologies.
