Gunman suspected of killing six people in Polish city of Krakow has died, police say
Police say the investigation is treating the attack as terrorism while prosecutors examine possible far-right links and the recovery of 11 firearms.
- The 24-year-old gunman who killed six people in Krakow's Main Market Square on Saturday died in the hospital early Monday after multiple surgeries for gunshot wounds sustained in a shootout with police.
- Investigators discovered the bodies of the suspect's parents and sister at his family home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, about 93 miles from Krakow, suggesting he killed them before driving to the city.
- Off-Duty surgeons Michal Pedziwiatr and Mateusz Wierdak provided critical care to a wounded police officer during the attack. The shooter and his father held permits for 11 firearms.
- Prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation, though officials appeared to walk back initial claims of a far-right motive on Monday, prompting opposition politicians to demand transparency on the evidence.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the shooting an 'act of terrorism' amid heightened political polarization, intensifying anxiety ahead of Wednesday's annual Independence March in the deeply divided nation.
