Gunman who killed six in Krakow believed to have been inspired by far-right ideology, minister says
Police say the suspect opened fire at random people and was inspired by far-right ideology, leaving 6 dead and 16 wounded.
- On Saturday, a 25-year-old Polish gunman opened fire in Krakow's Main Square, killing six people and wounding 16 before police shot and hospitalized him.
- Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński stated the attacker held "very radical views" and far-right ideology, while Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz termed the shooting an "act of terror."
- Wearing military-style fatigues and a bulletproof vest, the assailant engaged in a "wild ride" around the Main Square with a military-type long gun; police recovered additional weapons and ammunition from his vehicle.
- Krakow Mayor Aukasz GibaBa announced official mourning until Wednesday, vowing the city remains open, as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk praised the police response to the tragedy.
