Krakow mass shooting suspect has died in hospital, police in Poland say

The 24-year-old suspected gunman who carried out a shooting spree in Krakow died in the hospital on Monday morning. According to DW News and IOL, the man died from injuries sustained during a shootout with police.

The attack occurred on Saturday in a city square. While Bloomberg and the Japan Times report 16 people were wounded, the Winnipeg Free Press reports 15 people were wounded. IOL reports that six people, including two foreigners, were killed in the shooting, though it also notes the gunman is suspected to have killed nine people in total after the bodies of his parents and sister were found at their home.

The government suggested the attack may have been inspired by far-right ideology, an assertion that nationalist opposition politicians have questioned, according to the Japan Times. Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the event as an act of terrorism.
