A gunman opened fire in central Krakow, Poland's second largest city, on Saturday, killing six people and injuring several others. Police say the suspect is a 25-year-old Polish citizen, and three more bodies were later found at his home.
Six people were killed and several others injured on Saturday when a gunman opened fire in the centre of Krakow, Poland's second largest city. Police said the attacker used "military weapons". The incident is among the deadliest acts of violence in Poland, and its circumstances are still being established.
What is known about the suspect
Poland's interior minister described the suspect as a 25-year-old Polish citizen who was inspired by "far-right ideologies". The source gives no further detail on his motives.
A few hours after the attack, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said three other bodies had been found at the suspect's home. The property is still being searched.
Video from the scene
BBC Verify, the BBC's fact-checking unit, authenticated footage of the incident. It shows about a dozen people running inside two buildings, after which a black car with its front window open drives past, followed by a police car. Another video captures the moment gunshots were heard in the city's main market square.
The source does not say exactly how many people were injured or what condition they are in. The investigation is continuing and reporting on the story is being updated.
