  "account": "On Saturday, a gunman opened fire in the historic center of Krakow, Poland's second city, killing six and wounding at least 15 people. The attack, described as terrorism by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, marked the deadliest shooting in the country since the fall of communism in 1989. The suspect, a Polish citizen born in 2002, drove a car into Main Market Square and began shooting at random people. Two officers were injured while attempting to stop him. Police later found three bodies at the suspect's home, suggesting he had members of his immediate family among the victims. The attacker appeared to be fascinated by far-right ideologies, according to Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham expressed shock and sorrow over the \"appalling\" incident. Krakow, a popular tourist destination with 16.2 million visitors in 2025, has never experienced such a tragedy before. The authorities found several weapons in the suspect's car and noted he wore military-style clothing. Polish President Karol Nawrocki vowed to seek a full explanation of the attack, emphasizing the protection of Polish citizens as a top priority. International leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, expressed solidarity and condemnation of the violence.",
