  "account": "A gunman killed six people and wounded 15 others in a shooting rampage in Krakow's Main Market Square, Poland. The suspect, a 24-year-old Polish national fascinated by far-right ideologies, was wounded by police during the attack and is now in critical condition. Among the victims was a British national. Three additional bodies, identified as the gunman's parents and sister, were found at his home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, about 150km northeast of Krakow. The gunman, dressed in military garb and wearing a bulletproof vest, opened fire randomly in the historic center of Krakow. He left his car at an intersection and started shooting at two police officers with a semi-automatic rifle. Two police officers were also wounded during the pursuit. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the shooting an act of terrorism, but police have not provided a motive. The city of Krakow is in mourning, with candles being laid out and flags draped across the square. The government has announced a two-day nationwide mourning. Seven firearms were seized from the suspect's home. According to investigators, the gunman had no prior criminal record and was a member of a shooting club along with his father.",
  "summary": "The attack site was cordoned off on Sunday morning as people laid out candles and police searched the bags of square workers.",
