  "summary": "Polish prosecutors have launched a terrorism investigation following a mass shooting in Krakow's Main Square on Saturday. The 24-year-old attacker, who was wearing military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest, drove into the crowded tourist area and opened fire using a semi-automatic rifle. According to Gulf News, the gunman held far-right views, and France 24 reports he was \"fascinated by far-right ideologies.\" Police shot and wounded the suspect, who is reported to be in critical condition in the hospital.\n\nThe shooting resulted in six deaths and various injuries. Toronto Sun reports 17 people were injured, while Gulf News and Global News report 15 wounded. Of the victims, New Straits Times reports that four were Polish nationals, one was a 32-year-old British man, and a 51-year-old Austrian woman was the sixth victim.\n\nAuthorities also discovered the bodies of the attacker's parents and sister at the family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, a city approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Krakow. Global News reports they likely died from gunshot wounds. In response to the attack, Poland began two days of national mourning on Sunday.",
