Krakow Shooter: Suspect Dies After Police Fire

Authorities confirmed on Monday that the gunman responsible for Saturday's attack on Krakow's Main Square has died. The 24-year-old suspect was shot by police during the incident and had remained in critical condition in a hospital until his death.

Police stated the man drove a vehicle into the historic square before opening fire. He wore military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest during the assault. Six people died in the shooting, including four women and two men. The victims included a British man and an Austrian woman.

Fifteen others sustained injuries in the attack. Five of the wounded were foreign nationals. Two police officers who were hurt while attempting to stop the gunman remained in the hospital as of Sunday. Both officers were conscious.

Polish prosecutors launched an investigation into the killings and the attacks on officers. They are treating the case as a possible terrorist offense. Investigators noted the suspect held far-right views, but they have not yet established a specific motive for the violence.

Police discovered the bodies of the suspect's mother, father, and sister at their family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. The town is located roughly 93 miles northeast of Krakow. Officials believe the three family members died from gunshot wounds, though the exact circumstances of their deaths have not been confirmed.
