  "account": "A gunman opened fire in a busy market square in Krakow, Poland, killing at least five people and injuring over a dozen others on Saturday afternoon. The attack targeted a major tourist destination, with millions of visitors passing through Krakow's Main Square annually. The perpetrator, a 25-year-old man, was wearing military-style fatigues and armed with a military-type long gun. Police found additional weapons and ammunition in his car. The gunman acted alone, and police shot and wounded him during a gunfight before taking him to a Krakow hospital for resuscitation. Polish officials, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki, expressed condolences and vowed to thoroughly investigate the incident. The U.S. ambassador to Poland, Tom Rose, condemned the attack, stating America stands with Poland.",
