  "account": "Six people were killed and approximately a dozen wounded following a shooting incident in the historic center of Krakow, Poland's second city, on Saturday. A man drove a car into Main Square and began firing at random individuals, according to police. Officers then shot and apprehended the suspect, who is currently in custody. Krakow police spokesperson confirmed on phone with AFP that \"five people were killed and around a dozen others were wounded.\" The gunman acted alone and is identified as Polish, according to a police spokeswoman to AFP. Krakow, a major tourist destination, was left in shock, with ambulances and multiple police vehicles seen at the scene. Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the attack as a \"tragic shooting,\" while EU diplomat Kaja Kallas termed it a \"tragedy\" that would have repercussions beyond Poland's borders.

President Karol Nawrocki stated that he is in contact with authorities and seeking a full explanation of the incident, emphasizing that the safety of Polish citizens remains paramount.",
