Polish police have said that a 24-year-old man suspected of killing six people in Krakow, Poland's second largest city, died in hospital early on Monday morning. He was wounded on Saturday during a gunfight with police.
The attack began shortly before 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT) in Krakow's busy Main Market Square. Armed officers reached the scene quickly and exchanged fire with the attacker. Officials said he was shot within three minutes of the attack starting, which prevented an even higher death toll.
What is known about the attacker

In the hours after the shooting, a minister said early investigations indicated he had been inspired by "far-right ideologies". The minister also described him as an "ultra-nationalist" without providing further details.

It is confirmed that six people were killed in the attack: four women and two men.
