  "account": "On Saturday, a gunman opened fire in central Krakow, Poland, killing six people and wounding several others. The 24-year-old suspect, who officials believed was motivated by far-right ideologies, was injured during the attack but later died in a hospital, Polish police announced.\n\nThe gunman, whose identity has not been confirmed, had reportedly obtained firearms legally from his family home. Six victims were confirmed to have been Polish citizens, while a British national and an Austrian woman were among the others killed. The suspect's parents and sister were among those killed at his home.\n\nPolice arrived on the scene within three minutes of the attack starting, resulting in a brief gunfight that ultimately proved fatal for the suspect. Sixteen individuals, including five foreigners and two police officers, were hospitalized following the incident.\n\nPolish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared two days of national mourning in response to the attack, describing it as one of the most severe cases of terrorism Poland had ever faced. The United Kingdom expressed solidarity with Poland, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham offering his condolences to the victims' families and the injured. Main Market Square, where the shooting took place, reopened on Sunday evening following the lifting of a security cordon.",
