  "summary": "A mass shooting in Krakow's main square has left at least six people dead and between 15 and 16 others wounded. Poland has launched a terrorism investigation into the attack, which the defense minister described as an act of terror. Two days of national mourning were declared starting Sunday.\n\nThe 24-year-old Polish suspect, who was shot and wounded by police, was reportedly fascinated by far-right ideologies. CBC News reported the man drove into the central square before opening fire. According to ABC News, Polish police confirmed that the attacker's 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother, and 21-year-old sister were found dead in his apartment in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski.\n\nProsecutor Tomasz Waszczuk told ABC News that investigators are preparing six murder charges regarding the victims in Krakow, though that number could rise to nine if he is found responsible for the deaths of his family members. Counterterrorism officers conducted a search of the suspect's apartment due to concerns regarding possible explosives.",
