Description
Six people killed and 16 injured in a shooting in central Krakow, Poland, as police investigate suspected far-right links.
A 25-year-old Polish gunman allegedly opened fire on crowds at Main Market Square, one of the city's busiest tourist destinations, in an attack lasting around three minutes.
Among those killed were four women and two men, including a British national. Two police officers were also injured, one critically.
Authorities later discovered three additional bodies at the suspect’s home, believed to be members of his immediate family, bringing the total number of deaths linked to the case to nine.
The suspect was arrested following a confrontation with armed police and remains in hospital.
Poland's Interior Minister said evidence suggested the attacker held ultra-nationalist views, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the shooting as an act of terrorism.
Krakow has declared a period of mourning until November 11, as investigations continue.
