The 24-year-old suspect in Saturday’s deadly shooting in Krakow died in hospital on Monday, Polish police said. Six people were killed and 15 wounded in the attack in the city’s historic Main Square, according to the Associated Press; Reuters independently confirmed the suspect’s death and the six fatalities.

Police-confirmed update follows Saturday’s attack

Reuters reported that the suspect had been shot by police and arrested shortly after opening fire from a car in the square. The latest development ends the immediate medical uncertainty surrounding the suspect, but it does not resolve what led to the attack.

Authorities say the investigation continues

Polish Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said investigators are still examining whether the suspect acted alone or was influenced by a group, Reuters reported. Government officials urged restraint while evidence is reviewed. Authorities have not established a motive in the reporting cited here.

The attack took place in Krakow’s historic central square, a major tourist area. The Associated Press reported that several foreign nationals were among those killed and injured. More international coverage is available in Globuzz’s World section.
