Krakow mass shooting assailant died in hospital, Polish police say
WARSAW: A young gunman who killed six people in central Krakow on Saturday in Poland’s unprecedented mass shooting has died in hospital, police said early on Monday.
Krakow was the scene of a devastating mass shooting on Saturday, leaving six people dead in Poland's first such incident. The perpetrator, a 24-year-old man from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, died in the hospital on Monday, according to police. The assailant opened fire from his car in the historic city square, moments after being shot and apprehended by officers.
The government suspects the attacker may have been influenced by far-right ideology, though no further details have been released. Police examined patches on the shooter's clothing, which appeared to be associated with various symbols currently being analyzed by experts. An interior ministry spokeswoman declined to comment further due to the ongoing investigation.
