A gunman opened fire in Krakow’s Main Market Square on Saturday afternoon, killing six people and injuring at least 15, according to Polish authorities. The attack took place in a crowded area, with witnesses describing chaos as people fled the scene. Three additional bodies were later found at the suspect’s home, police confirmed.
The victim list includes a British national, as reported by local media. A Melbourne student who was present described hearing gunshots and witnessing the violence. Footage from the scene shows people taking cover as cars sped away. The suspect remains in hospital, and authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack.
This is the second major shooting in Krakow this year, following an incident in January that left two people dead. The current case has raised concerns about security in the city’s tourist areas. Police have not yet released details about the suspect’s identity or background. Investigations are ongoing as officials work to determine the full extent of the tragedy.
