  "summary": "A gunman killed six people and wounded 15 others on Saturday afternoon in a busy market square in Krakow, Poland, according to authorities. The perpetrator, a 24-year-old Polish citizen, aimed at random people while driving into the city's central Main Square, a major tourist destination. The Malopolski regional government updated the death toll to six following an earlier report of five fatalities.\n\nKrakow police spokesperson Katarzyna Cisło stated that the gunman acted alone and wore military-style fatigues while using a military-type long gun. During a gunfight a short distance from the initial violence, police officers shot and wounded the perpetrator. Officers are among those injured in the attack. Police also discovered ammunition and various other weapons inside the gunman's vehicle.\n\nThe Krakow municipal transport company reported that a tram driver noticed their cabin window was shattered after being shot at from a moving car near the square around 3 p.m. Following the incident, ambulances and police officers covered the area, and a Polish Medical Air Rescue helicopter landed in the square.",
