Police say the 24‑year‑old gunman who opened fire in Kraków’s main market square on Saturday has died in the hospital. The assault left six people dead, including a British man, and injured 16 others. A government minister suggested the motive may be tied to far‑right ideas. The suspect was wounded in a shootout with police, taken to a hospital in critical condition, and later passed away. Authorities have launched a terrorism investigation, and Poland has declared two national days of mourning. A video of the shooting has been authenticated. Newsrooms differ on whether the incident took place in the city’s Main Square or another spot in Kraków. Details about the shooter’s exact motivations, any accomplices, and the full scope of the probe remain unclear.
