  "summary": "A gunman opened fire on random people in the historic centre of Krakow, Poland, on Saturday, marking the country's deadliest shooting in decades. According to Dawn, the attacker drove a car onto the city's Main Square before beginning to shoot. The Times of Israel reported that the shooter used a military weapon from the vehicle and that the casualties included four women and two men.\n\nThe death toll is reported as six people by the Toronto Sun, Euronews, and Dawn, though a Krakow police spokesman told AFP that five people were killed. While Euronews and Dawn report around a dozen people were wounded, The Times of Israel states that 15 others were injured and one police officer is in serious condition.\n\nPolice shot and wounded the perpetrator, who is now in custody, according to Dawn, NPR, and The Times of Israel. Dawn reports that the gunman is a Polish man who acted alone. Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the event as a tragic shooting while police continue to investigate the circumstances of the attack.",
