Kraków Market Shooting Leaves Six Dead, Sparks Terror Probe
A 24‑year‑old gunman opened fire in a busy square, killing six and wounding seventeen, while authorities say the act may be linked to far‑right ideas.
Polish prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation after a 24‑year‑old man opened fire on Saturday afternoon in a busy market square in Kraków, Poland, killing six people—including a Briton—and injuring seventeen others.
Police say the 24‑year‑old suspect, who holds far‑right views, may have been inspired by such ideologies; after the attack, three dead bodies found at his home were identified as his 53‑year‑old father, 52‑year‑old mother and 21‑year‑old sister.
ABC News reported a prosecutor said the deadly mass shooting in Poland is being investigated as a terror act.
