  "account": "At least six people lost their lives and sixteen were injured in a shooting incident near Krakow's main market square in southern Poland on Saturday. The attacker, a 25-year-old Polish man who acted alone, sustained injuries during a shootout with police, according to authorities. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the attack as a \"cruel assault on people's lives\" in Krakow. The gunman targeted random individuals while driving past the city's main square, a popular tourist spot, and continued his rampage by firing at the square from his vehicle. Police officers were among those wounded in the exchange of fire. The perpetrator was subsequently wounded by police and is being transported to a hospital. The victims included four Polish women, a British national, and two unidentified individuals. The shooter drove to various locations within the square, opening fire at each spot. Police discovered the bodies of two women and a man in the attacker's home located in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, a city roughly 150 kilometers northeast of Krakow. The shooter was reportedly fascinated by far-right ideologies and held radical views. Five of the sixteen injured were non-Polish nationals. Polish President Karol Nawrocki and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed their condolences for the victims and their families, with Merz reaffirming Germany's support for Poland during this difficult time.",
