A gunman killed six people and wounded 16 in Kraków’s main market square Saturday around 3 p.m., police said. The shooter, a 25‑year‑old Polish citizen, used an automatic weapon from a car and was stopped by police. Poland’s defence minister called the attack an act of terror and said the suspect held ultra‑nationalistic views. The gunman was fascinated with radical far‑right ideologies and that a British tourist was among the dead. Police later found three more bodies at the suspect’s home, identified as his parents and sister.

Poland has declared two days of mourning for the Kraków market‑square shooting. Mourners placed candles in the square to honor the victims. Police confirmed the three bodies found at the suspect’s home were his parents and sister.
