A gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Market Square on Saturday afternoon, killing six people and injuring at least 15 others. The attack occurred in a busy tourist area, with witnesses describing chaos as the suspect drove through the square and fired randomly.
Authorities confirmed the deaths of four men and two women in the initial attack. Later, police discovered three more bodies at the suspect's residence, believed to be his family members. The suspect, a Polish man, is reported to have held far-right views, according to officials.
The incident has shocked Poland, with the defense minister describing it as an "act of terror." Investigations are ongoing to determine the motive and full extent of the attack. The suspect was shot and wounded by police during the confrontation.
This is the second major shooting in Krakow this year, following a similar attack in January that left three people dead. The current incident has raised concerns about rising far-right extremism in the region. Authorities are reviewing security measures in public spaces and considering new protocols to prevent such attacks.
