The 24-year-old gunman who killed six people in central Krakow on Saturday has died in hospital, Polish police said early on Monday, Reuters reported. The Polish government has said he may have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details.
Police officers shot and arrested the man minutes after he opened fire from his car at people in Krakow’s historic main square, in what Reuters described as an unprecedented mass shooting for Poland.
Very little information has emerged about the attacker, who came from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, a town of just under 60,000 people in southeastern Poland.
Interior ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka told radio TOK FM on Monday that many different emblems on his clothing had been partially examined and interpreted. “These patches were associated with various motifs,” she said, adding that specialists were analysing them. She declined to comment further because the investigation is continuing.
