The gunman who killed six people during a rare mass shooting in Kraków, Poland, has died in hospital, police said on Monday, according to Reuters.
The 24-year-old suspect opened fire from a vehicle at people gathered in Krakow’s historic main square on Saturday before police officers shot and detained him.
Officials have not released further details about his identity or possible motives. This is a developing story and will be updated. Polish authorities identified the suspect as a 24-year-old man from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, a town in southeastern Poland with a population of fewer than 60,000 people.
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka said investigators were examining symbols found on the suspect’s clothing. She said some patches appeared linked to different motifs but warned that experts were still analyzing their meaning.
The attack in the city’s historic main square triggered national mourning and increased security across the country.
Authorities said they were investigating a possible far-right extremist motive behind the violence.
