  "account": "Poland experienced shock on Sunday after a gunman opened fire, killing six people and injuring 15 in the city of Krakow. The attacker, a 24-year-old Polish national with far-right views, was shot and wounded by police after continuing to fire. The attack took place in Krakow's Main Square, a popular tourist destination. Witnesses described a scene of chaos and terror as people fled into nearby shops and businesses. British visitor Neil Thaxton recounted hiding in a gift shop with his wife as police arrived. The attacker, who had military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest, had previously trained at a shooting club but was not trained in advanced, tactical shooting techniques. Police found the bodies of the attacker's parents and sister at the family home, along with four firearms belonging to the attacker and his father. The incident marked the first mass shooting in modern-day Poland.",
