Six dead after gunman opens fire ‘at random’ in Kraków market square
What happened
A gunman who opened fire from a car in Krakow's Main Market Square on Saturday killed six people and wounded at least 15, Polish authorities said.
Police shot and arrested the suspect, a Polish man born in 2002, after he wounded two officers in an exchange of fire.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said police later found three bodies at the suspect's home, which he said probably belonged to members of the man's immediate family.
Police chief Marek Boron said one of the dead was British; five foreigners were among the wounded.
Tusk called the shooting an act of terrorism and announced two days of national mourning.
“Until now in Poland we haven't had such drastic cases of terrorism”
