A Polish citizen carried out the shooting attack on Saturday afternoon in the central square of Krakow, in southern Poland, where six people were killed and at least ten others were injured. Police said the man acted alone and that, so far, there are no indications that other people were involved.

The incident took place at around 3 p.m. local time, when the suspect allegedly drove into the central square and began firing at random at passersby. According to information initially provided by police, five people were killed, but the death toll later rose to six.

The suspect, whom local media report is 25 years old, was wearing a military-style uniform and had no documents on him. Police established his identity through operational activities. During the intervention, he allegedly resisted, and law enforcement officers opened fire. The man was wounded and taken to hospital. Two police officers were also injured.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki were informed about the incident and called for the circumstances to be clarified. The investigation is ongoing to determine the motive for the attack.
