  "account": "Poland initiated a period of two days of mourning on Sunday, following a shooting incident in Krakow's central market square the previous day. The attack took place on Saturday in the Old Town's Rynek Glowny, a popular tourist destination. The perpetrator, a 24-year-old man, killed six people and wounded 15 others, including a British national and citizens from Austria, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, and Russia. Three additional victims were found at the suspect's home in the town of Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, near Krakow.\n\nPolish Prime Minister Donald Tusk characterized the incident as an act of far-right terrorism, but authorities have yet to determine a motive. The square remained partially sealed off as investigators continued their work. The suspect, wearing military fatigues, allegedly fired at random individuals while driving around the square before being wounded by police and placed in critical condition in the hospital.\n\nInterior Minister Marcin Kierwinski stated that the suspect held right-wing extremist and ultranationalist views, indicating that he was deeply influenced by far-right ideologies. Two police officers were also wounded while apprehending the suspect and are currently hospitalized. An appeal for blood donations was launched for one of the injured officers, who is in critical condition. Several firearms were seized from the suspect's apartment, and he had no prior criminal record. The suspect and his father were both members of a shooting club.",
  "summary": "Mourners left candles in Krakow's main market square to honor the victims of the attack. Police confirmed that the bodies found at the suspect's home were those of his parents and sister.",
