Mass Shooting in Krakow's Main Square Leaves Six Dead and 15 Wounded
A mass shooting occurred in the historic Main Square of Krakow, Poland, after a 24-year-old man with radical far-right views drove a vehicle into the crowded tourist hub and opened fire. The attack resulted in six fatalities—including two foreign nationals—and left approximately 15 others wounded. Two police officers were injured during their intervention to stop the perpetrator and remain hospitalized. Authorities have classified the incident as an act of terror, noting that the suspect's family was also found dead from gunshot wounds at a residence in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. Poland has entered two days of national mourning, marked by the unprecedented suspension of the traditional St. Mary's Trumpet Call. The investigation into murder and attempted murder is ongoing as officials examine the perpetrator's ultranationalistic motivations.
