Gunman who killed 6 in Polish city square dies in hospital
What happened
A gunman who shot dead six people in the main square of Krakow, Poland, on Saturday has died in hospital, police announced on Monday.
About 15 others were wounded, and two of the dead were foreigners, according to France 24.
The suspect's parents and sister were found dead at their home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, about 200 km from Krakow, which brings the suspected toll to nine.
Poland's interior minister said the attacker was fascinated by "far-right ideologies", a description that angered the conservative and nationalist opposition.
Warsaw police added barriers and extra security in busy tourist areas, and the Krakow trumpet call was suspended for the first time since 1939, per PAP.
